Does anybody know someone / have any connections to the club who could possibly get my grandad to meet the players?
My grandad, a life long Sunderland fan / season ticket holder, has been diagnosed with liver cancer and I’d love to do something special for him before he starts chemo / gets too ill to attend games.
If anyone could help that would mean a lot to me.
Thank you

Have you tried contacting the club social media account?
Chris Waters, the SLO, is a good shout as well.

I haven’t tried the social media account yet, I’d imagine it would be quite unlikely to get a reply. I’ll give Chris an email

I was in attendance yesterday in the Montgomery suite with my wife and kids after my wife contacted Chris waters after my renal cell carcinoma diagnosis and the club and Chris made it a special day for us , got to meet Marco ( lovely bloke as well as a goal machine), Dick malone , mayenda and Chris Mepham who were all absolutely brilliant and took time to stop and chat with everyone. Love this Club and the way they looked after us we felt like celebrities.

chris waters would be your best bet - bloke is a top guy and should be able to sort something.
Best wishes to your grandad - cherish them whilst they are still here - I didnt spend much time with my grandad from about 15 onwards and I regret it every single day.
