The man who captained Sunderland to one of the biggest upsets in FA Cup history has become yet another victim of our trade, it was announced this month that he has gone bankrupt after ten years running a pub in the city.
Brian Kerr captained Sunderland to their famous 1-0 victory over leeds in 1973. It was pretty much traditional for footballers of that era to retire into pubs and it’s always sad to see them come unstuck.
It must be galling for guys like him to see the amount of money that arrogant, semi- talented oiks earn in the game these days. Even habitually violent ex-cons can command £1.5 million a year and will never do a days work in their pampered lives.
If there is a Brian Kerr hat being passed around I will throw a few quid in, and maybe they could send it to me via St. James’ Park and see if anyone over there has enough of a conscience to help out?
