Europe beckons once more as Sunderland fans prepare for another journey.
This time, it is Lech Poznan who are the opponents for the Black Cats on Thursday and thousands of fans will head from Wearside to the Poznan stadium.
As another night of Europa League drama approaches, we scoured the archives to find links between the two areas.
These 11 photo memories show everything from cyclists who pedalled to Poland, to visitors to Wearside from Warsaw.
There’s the Sunderland gymnast who took silver in the European Championships in 2006, and the Polish woman who set up a business in Sunderland in 2008.
We would love to hear from Wearside families with links to Poland. Get in touch to tell us more.
Or perhaps you would like to tell us about other types of nostalgia you would want to see in our retro section.
It might be memories of your favourite shop, club, nightclub or restaurant. Maybe you want to get back in touch with former workmates from a Sunderland factory, or with pals who you went to school with.
Or perhaps you would like to share memories of a sporting occasion in the past which you would like to revisit.
