Sir Bob Murray hails Sunderland and recalls Kyril Louis-Dreyfus embrace after Arsenal defeat | OneFootball

Sir Bob Murray felt immense pride in Sunderland after their performance against Arsenal at the Stadium of Light on Saturday, and he embraced the club’s owners to thank them.

According to Sunderland Echo, the former owner and chairman believed the Black Cats gave everything despite defeat to expensive opposition, noting they were up against players signed for £125 million and £nine million, and an England international.

He spoke ahead of the Foundation of Light’s 25th anniversary celebrations, with a gala dinner next month, and recounted a warm exchange with Kyril Louis-Dreyfus and his family after the match.

Murray said the hug extended to Maurice, Louis-Dreyfus’s cousin, and described the group as a close family. He added that Maurice thanked him for coming, a sentiment Murray welcomed, and he expressed fondness for him.

Sunderland host AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League on Wednesday evening, their first European home fixture in 53 years, and Murray plans to attend.
