Wearsiders

Few Wearsiders can have failed at some point to notice the ‘enchanted’ doorway; a mediaeval arch surrounding a wooden door, set in a cliff face in deepest Mowbray Park.

Pawson's record during Sunderland matches doesn't make for good reading with the referee having taken control of 13 games involving the Wearsiders previously, only overseeing one win for the Black Cats.
