On the short stroll from St Peter's, the nearest Tyne and Wear Metro station, to Sunderland's Stadium of Light, there are a number of murals celebrating great moments in the club's recent history. One of them, casting back to New Year's Day 2012, shows South Korean striker Ji Dong-Won and Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart. Ji's about to make it 1-0 to Sunderland in the 94th minute. The caption quotes an excitable local radio commentary: "Jiiiiiii... he's round the goalkeeper... he's done it! Absolutely incredible!"
It serves as a memento of a relatively recent time when Manchester City once dreaded trips to Wearside.
