When the giants of Sporting Lisbon came to Sunderland
A brief visit but the Sporting Lisbon team made a lasting impression
These scenes.
It was 50 years ago when the Sporting Lisbon team took on Sunderland - the FA Cup holders - in the Second Round of the European Cup Winners Cup.
The Portugese giants certainly made friends on their stay.
Having a go on the local kids' bikes
They stopped in the Norseman Hotel in Peterlee and signed loads of autographs before going for a walk in the dene.
Some even had a go on the Raleigh Chopper bikes of the local kids.
Then it was off to Roker Park for the match and Sunderland took a 2-0 lead before Lisbon pulled a goal back.
Black Cats matched their famous rivals
Sadly, Sunderland would lose the away leg 2-0 to go out of Europe.
But were you there when Sunderland scared the life out of the Portugese team, or did you meet the visitors on the streets of Peterlee?
