00:00 So Leo Pullman from Full World 73, obviously as you would have my name and the company,
00:05 Sunderland means a lot to you, but what's brought you to join the board?
00:09 Them asking me, put simply, I can't imagine a greater honour or privilege than to be asked
00:14 to join the board of the club that you grew up supporting and love. To be able to contribute
00:19 in any small way to the continued success is truly, truly a dream come true.
00:27 So how long have you been a Sunderland fan?
00:29 I would say before birth, given that I wasn't given a choice in the matter. So yeah, 44
00:36 years.
00:37 And what's your earliest memory?
00:39 My earliest memory is probably the first game I went to, which was in true Sunderland fashion,
00:44 a crushing defeat. I don't remember the score of the scorers, I just remember being quite
00:49 upset, which is a feeling that as a Sunderland fan you get used to, and yet you keep on coming
00:54 back for more. And I guess that's really at the heart of it, isn't it?
00:57 So you loved the club pre-Dare to Stadium and out then, you were a Rocha-Bargh boy?
01:01 Absolutely. I stood on the Fulwell end with my dad, my cousins, Ben and Gabe, my grandpa,
01:07 my brother, hence the company name Fulwell 73, that constant reminder of where we come
01:13 from and also what you can achieve if you just dare to dream.
01:16 And also the last time we won anything.
01:18 Dare to dream, that's exactly it.
