This was just one of the magic moments from Sunderland's trip to Wembley for the Capital One Cup Final, ten years ago today.

Sunderland's own Jordan Henderson was spotted hiding in the crowd, his hood up, shoulder-to-shoulder with other Black Cats fans.

Echo photographer Peter Berry, who had been snapping the then 23-year-old since his early days at Sunderland, sighted the young player, who looked up and gave him a smile back.

Jordan, from Herrington, had moved from his boyhood club to Liverpool a few years earlier in 2011, and would become captain of The Reds the following year.

Later that year he would also join the FIFA World Cup England squad, having previously captained the U-21 side.
