The club is inviting both Sunderland and Watford to remember supporters who have passed away and pay tribute to former Black Cats stars who have died in the past 12 months.

Former players Ambrose Fogarty, a Republic of Ireland international, and Bobby Craig sadly passed away this year.

The club kindly asks supporters to take their seats early in order to ensure that the silence is observed in the appropriate manner.
