Torrential rain soaked St. James’ Park as goals from Niall Quinn and Kevin Phillips gave Sunderland a 2-1 win shortly after promotion was won in 1999.
Like everyone else that night, manager Peter Reid got thoroughly drenched.
He wasn’t bothered in the slightest as he soaked up the joy of a famous victory.
Reidy’s jacket is on display as a lasting reminder of a truly great – if extremely wet – night.
