On this episode of The Sporticos Football Stories Podcast, Craig Hanson talks to Sam Blakey, a podcaster and lifelong Sunderland fan, who is part of the Roker Rapport podcast, from the Roker Report fanzine, part of the SB Nation family. Sam has seen his beloved club drop from finishing 10th in the Premier League to losing in the League One playoffs.

The boys get into Sam’s earliest memories following the club, his childhood heroes, the Netflix documentary “Sunderland Till I Die”, playoff near misses and much, much more.
