I know, because I played in the last side which won there and it was a great match.

We won 3-2 back in April 1978 after conceding a goal inside the first 25 seconds! I don't think I ever conceded an earlier Sunderland goal in my career and none of us could believe it!

We dug in, got an equaliser, Bob Lee added a couple more and they got one back at the death but not enough to stop us running out winners.

The game sticks in my mind because of the early goal and the joy of coming back and winning the game.

Thirty years is too long though since our last victory and it's one of those records that is just asking to be smashed.

We have three players going back to a club they only left a few weeks ago. It will probably feel more like a home game than ones at the Stadium of Light.

Maybe the confidence they'll feel returning to White Hart Lane will tilt things in our favour.

When you go to a former club you always want to do well. If the crowd liked you, you want to remind them why; if they didn't like you, you want to prove a point.

Hopefully Sunderland's players will do that this weekend and ensure the fans enjoy their capital returns.
