Eric Black

[safc]

Hi there, Sunderland fan in peace.

 

I'm currently interested in doing a feature on our assistant manager Eric Black for the popular Sunderland fanzine A Love Supreme, however he's a bit of an enigma round these parts. Thus, having seen that he did alright for you guys, I wondered, would anybody fancy adding their three'pence with a contribution? 300 words or so on him, any decent stories, memories as a player, that kind of thing? You wouldn't get paid but you'll get a namecheck in the magazine, which does really well locally and nationally.

 

Anyway, if you're interested, email me your article/whatever at mackemboy@hotmail.com Ideally by Thursday/Friday of this week. I'll pop back on here to see if there's anything in the responses too. Thanks in advance for your help.

One of the best headers of a football I've ever seen!

Never realised he was assistant to Bruce at Sunderland. He played for us before my time.

We have a resident author on this site

This could be right up his street

Indeed, looked like he had springs in his shoes at times.

This crowd are far too cynical to help you out mate. I'd try Aberdeen Mad as there are a few writers there that would probably help.

I would have done something for you but my laptop at home is fucked and there's no way of doing it in work.  Try the Red Avenger on Aberdeen-Mad.

 

Black was a stunning player, to give you an idea of what he was like I would probably compare him to Mark Hughes.

[bilbobaggins]

Marco van Basten is the player I'd compare him to.

[Tyrant]

I'd compare him to Stephen Payne and to a lesser extent David Beckham.

Saw him score some crackers in the 80s, always seemed to be able to jump about 6" higher than anyone!
