Ever wonder what it would have been like if Don Revie—the legendary manager who built Leeds United into a powerhouse—had taken the reins at Sunderland? In this week's episode of Haway The Podcast, hosts Martin and Kelvin are diving deep into one of the most intriguing "what if" stories in the club's history.

Revie's connection to Sunderland is more than just a footnote. Before he became a managerial icon, he wore the famous red-and-white stripes as captain. But his time at the club was anything but smooth sailing. In Part 1 of this special Roker Rewind series, the lads explore two pivotal moments that defined his Sunderland spell: the crushing blow of the club's first relegation under his captaincy, and a controversial pre-season tour that set the stage for his eventual departure.

It's a tale of tension, ambition, and what might have been—a reminder that even the greatest managers have chapters they'd rather forget. Whether Revie was ever truly close to becoming Sunderland boss is the question at the heart of this episode, and Martin and Kelvin aren't holding back on the details.

If you're a Sunderland fan—or just a lover of football history—you won't want to miss this. And the story doesn't end here: stay tuned for Part 2 next week, where the team will uncover even more about Revie's complicated relationship with the club.
