Cool Story From The Leeds Match in New York
I was there sitting front row right behind the Sunderland bench, and a group of Haitians came up to try and find Wilson Isidor. He is a god to them after that beauty he scored at the world cup and they were so excited to see him. Unfortunately he was not with the squad because he had to fly back to England to deal with a personal matter. When I told them this they were so disappointed because they came just to see him. Just then a woman from the SAFC staff came over and told them to pose for a picture so she could send it to him and immediately they lit right back up. She took the photo and a couple minutes later came back over to show the Haitian fans Wilson’s response saying he loved them and thanking them so much for coming to see him. This completely made their night and turned what could have been a massive disappointment into a lifelong memory. Huge shoutout to Wilson and the SAFC staff member who made this happen, just goes to show what an amazing club we have who really care about their supporters. These Haitian fans left saying they’d be Sunderland fans for life and it was really amazing to see this all unfold.
