On this day in 1993 former Sunderland defender/forward Lee Howey, made his debut in a 4-1 win against Portsmouth...
Both Howey brothers grew up in Sunderland, with their dad Norman, a massive Sunderland fan who regularly took the lads to Roker Park. Lee joined Terry Butcher’s Sunderland side in 1993 after impressing with Bishop Auckland.
His debut came at home in May, with the Lads battering Pompey. Two goals came from Don Goodman, with Martin Gray and Gordon Armstrong getting one each.
