Such sad news about Charlie Hurley.

More than Sunderland AFC greatest player… he was a great human being.

Been reminiscing this afternoon with Lord Rowell about the wonderful moments we were lucky enough to share with The King.

May he rest in peace 💔

❤️🤍

CHARLIE!

'He will always be known as 'The King' in Sunderland.'

'The club should name a stand after him. They should have done it years ago.'

Sunderland AFC

Sunderland AFC starting it now. In fairness should have happened years ago, but surely it is only fitting to rename the west stand at the stadium in memory of the King and in his honour. Get it done! Kristjaan Speakman DAVID JONES Roker Report Red & White Army #SAFC
