Born 6 June 1957 at Seaham, County Durham, Gary Rowell became an SAFC legend and one of the few men to have scored over 100 goals for the football club. In Rowell’s case; 103. He became the first post war Sunerland AFC since Len Shackleton to do so. The table below details his goals for Sunderland AFC. How many of those games were you at or can you remember? Rowell is of course a born and bred Sunderland fan.
