'I will treasure this forever' - Sunderland legend Gary Rowell reacts to Hall of Fame honour

I would like to thank everybody who has called and messaged me recently following my selection into the Sunderland AFC Hall of Fame, even some of my closest friends who enquired whether I was actually on the selection panel.

For the record I wasn’t but I am absolutely delighted to receive this great honour and feel extremely privileged.

When I was growing up and going to Roker Park with my mates I could only dream of playing for Sunderland so to be invited into a special group, many of whom were and still are my heroes, is an award I will treasure forever.

It is times like these I realise how lucky I have been to play for the club I fell in love with all those years ago and play in front of the most loyal and passionate set of fans who are second to none.

For as long as I can remember I have been a Sunderland fan and no matter what division we are in, how high or low we are, I am Sunderland ‘Til I Die and proud of it.
