Last week marked a year since Lynden Gooch scored the only goal of a pretty dour Papa John's Trophy final. Needless to say, nobody will remember the performance with the result now etched in Sunderland's history.
The significance of Max Power lifting the silverware ended the Black Cats Wembley hoodoo. The Wearsiders had not won at the home of English football since their FA Cup triumph back in 1973.
The result itself was in the midst of a remarkable unbeaten run, that propelled the Black Cats towards the automatic promotion places. Of course, red-and-white supporters do not need reminding of how the season ended.
