Today we have lost a former player, a team mate a friend. Tony Godden, who was one of our best keepers, ready to battle for the cause but sadly cancer was one battle too many. Our thoughts go to his devoted wife Linda, his daughters Jade & Lauren, son Luke & grandchildren. RIP TG

DAVID YOUNG: RIP All at ALS are saddened to hear about the death of David Young, Sunderland's twelfth man at Wembley '73, at the age of 80. David passed away in a care home after suffering from dementia in recent years. Having found the presence of Bob Moncur and Ollie Burton restrict him to less than 50 games in a decade on Tyneside, he answered Bob Stokoe’s call in early 1973, arriving within days of Ron Guthrie for a combined fee of about £30,000. Stokoe had recognised gaps in our squad and got the pair to make the short journey along the A184 to fill them. It’s said that defender Dave’s family, all staunch Mags, refused to speak to him for ages after the move, but he ended up with something no living Mag player has got – an FA Cup winner’s medal. His debut came on January 6th, alongside Dave Watson in a 4-0 demolition of Brighton at Roker that featured a goal from Joe Bolton, and he featured in both FA Cup ties against Reading. His first and only Sunderland goal came as we drew 1-1 at Orient in late April, but his first team chances were restricted by the return to fitness of Richie Pitt, and he ended the season with 16 appearances – although his most memorable game was at Wembley where he was our solitary substitute, and unused as Stokoe relied on the Lads who’d taken the lead to defend it on the front foot rather than sit back and soak up the pressure. The following season brought 24 appearances, as Richie Pitt’s early season injury ended his career and left a gap for Dave to fill. But he recognised that the arrival of his former team-mate Moncur, and the surprise conversion of striker Rod Belfitt to defence, would limit his chances and moved to Charlton in July ’74. Equally comfortable at fullback or in the centre, he had a couple of seasons at the Valley which preceded another two at Southend before he retired from the professional game to wind down with Dartford. Following this, he managed a sports centre in the South East, but returned the North East as a guest at SAFC. His son Paul studied at Sunderland University in the mid ‘90s, where he didn’t think anyone would remember his dad. As my wife was on the same course, he was soon put right on that subject. We’re Sunderland, we don’t forget. David was always delighted to return to the north east for re-unions of the 1973 FA Cup winning team and invariably brought with him his medal, which he was always happy to show people and let them handle it. As part of the cup-winning team he was honoured with the Freedom of the City of Sunderland in 2022. 41 games, one goal, one yellow card. RIP Dave.

@Dahshur11 Sincere condolences. RIP ....

A British veteran who carried the coffin of Princess Diana has died. Cold and alone on the streets. RIP Malcolm Livingstone. So sorry that your service was rewarded with this kick in the teeth from the country you served to protect. All the while illegal migrants get pampered.🤨

@1MickyHazard Totally agree....

Well the game is dead, Var is killing it. The FA Cup at the weekend was brilliant, no interruptions for a nose hair. There’s more bad decisions go on today than before Var was introduced. And the breaking up of the tempo of the game well what can you say.

@cyrilleregis Lovely guy...RIP

Eight years since Cyrille's passing 💙 His impact on football and equality is still felt every day. Always remembered, always inspiring.

FIXTURE SOUGHT Our Reserves, who play in Division One of the @Stroud_League, are looking for a friendly game for the coming weekend. We can host or travel if a team is looking for a game. Please DM or email to admin@tuffleyroversfc.co.uk if interested.

@Cinderford_Town Have to say it was good to see so many Cinderford town supporters at the game yesterday, whom created a great atmosphere both during and after an entertaining game. I had a couple of seasons at Cinderford, so best wishes Soots and the club going forward with the changes ....

@AlinejadMasih @sharrond62 RIP.....

Today, I take to the streets. I have no fear, no worries. I want my right.” Those were Mehdi Zatparvar’s last words on his instagram, and yesterday the Islamic Republic answered those words with bullets. They killed a world-champion athlete for demanding something simple: his right to live with dignity. This is how the regime responds to courage. This is why Iranians are in the streets. Here is Mehdi with his mother. Look at them. Remember them. This crime must not be buried in silence. 💔

@JerryGill_2 Totally agree....

Martinelli you coward what are you doing ? 🤬 a fellow professional with an obvious serious knee injury . You throw the ball at him and then try and move him off the pitch 🤷‍♂️ you clown 🤡
