Join Martin, Andrew and Kelvin for another episode of On This Week, where we take a look back at some of the key events that have happened on this week in the history of Sunderland AFC. On today's show: Reuben Agboola makes his Sunderland debut... Or does he?! Referees clash as Sunderland's game against Liverpool is abandoned! We take a look back at the career of Bill Murray, who left Sunderland on this week in 1937 – but he would return. Kelvin recalls a day out at Orient, which was memorable for a few reasons, including being the only time Gary Rowell missed a pen. And we talk about Walter Keeton, who made his debut for the lads on this week in 1931 – but is better remembered for plying his trade in another sport!
