Delving into Sunderland's history is what we love to do, so we grabbed author David Snowdon for a chat about his new book 'A Fistful of Doldrums - View From the North East Hotbed 1977-1979' following its recent release, chatting about Sunderland AFC in the late 70s.

On today's agenda:

• Talking all about David's new book "A Fistfull of Doldrums"...
• We debate if Stokoe should have achieved promotion sooner...
• Why Clough lost out to Jimmy Adamson in getting the top job at Roker...
• The rise and fall of Jimmy Adamson...
• Did Clough, Robson and McMenemy just play with the Sunderland board when it came to replacing Adamson?!
• ... and much more!

Make sure you grab your copy of the book today - it's available at Amazon, Waterstones, WHSmith and more: https://www.pitchpublishing.co.uk/shop/fistful-doldrums
