WMS REPLAY: Meet the Managers - Denis Smith
•
We've delved into the archives to bring you the first in the Meet the Manager series where we speak to Denis Smith.
Denis talks us through his early years, how he came to be Sunderland manager, how he got Sunderland on the up again after relegation to the third tier for the first time in the club's history, that famous Newcastle Play-Off victory, our season in the top flight and that incredible day against Man City at Maine Road.
This podcast was first released in 2018.
