(MA) Meet Winks, an adorable and incredibly strong puppy with a heartbreaking origin. Winks was found unmoving on the side of a road with severe injuries. He had several very infected wounds and was barely holding on when his rescuers rushed him to the vet. Once there, x-rays revealed the horrifying truth that Winks had been shot numerous times around his face and neck. These injuries resulted in him having his eye removed. Despite that, Winks has made a miraculous and full recovery. He certainly does not let his handicap slow him down at his new foster home.

1995/1996 would end in glory for Sunderland, but at the start of the campaign, the supporters didn’t quite know what to expect. Manager Peter Reid had signed a long-term contract over the summer, having saved the Lads from relegation to the second tier, and whilst his performance in the role so far had suggested that an upturn in fortunes could be on the cards, a lack of transfer activity tempered hopes somewhat.
