With the festive season just around the corner, the Echo team decided it was about time we held a virtual Christmas Party!

So we invited some loyal Sunderland fans to join us on a special Zoom call with legends Gary Bennett and Stephen Elliott - to discuss current events at the Stadium of Light, while also taking a walk down memory lane.

And our panel of experts and guests also shared their hopes for the Black Cats in 2021 as we approach the end of the year.
