A former star of the Stadium of Light and now a key member of the coaching staff at Pride Park Stadium, Kevin Phillips headlines the Sunderland instalment of our award-winning matchday programme.


Spanning seven pages, Derby’s first-team coach exclusively discusses being the last Englishman to win the European Golden Shoe, a goal-laden playing career, making the transition into coaching, his role with the Rams and what now fills the satisfying feeling he used to get from finding the net.

Jam-packed, as ever, with that and more exclusive features and content, supporters can purchase a copy of our 76-page official matchday programme for just £3 from all around Pride Park Stadium.

On top of that, here’s a brief review of what other content you can expect from our #DCFCvSAFC edition of The Ram…

Exclusive Columns: Gary Rowett pens his official programme notes to discuss his side’s draws on the road and the upcoming Easter games, whilst Scott Carson speaks about the nine ‘big’ challenges separating the Rams from the end of the season.


Opposition Guide: Want to know more about our opponents on Good Friday? We have got you covered with our in-depth opposition section on the Black Cats, which includes an interview with Phil Smith, a football writer at the Sunderland Echo, about their season to date and who the dangermen are in Chris Coleman’s side.

First & Last: We found out more about our January transfer signing, Cameron Jerome, after he sat down with us to undertake our popular programme quiz to look at his personal firsts and lasts!

The Loan Watch: From the comfort of the Under-23s to scrapping it out in a relegation fight at the bottom of the Vanarama National League, we spoke to Calum Macdonald about his so-far successful time with Barrow AFC.

Academy Focus: Our Under-23s, arguably, fielded their youngest ever XI recently in a Premier League 2 Division 1 match with Manchester City, we discuss how the experience will benefit them, whilst we speak to the youngest of those players involved, 15-year-old Tyree Wilson.


The Final Word: Curtis Davies provides the final opinion for the latest instalment of our matchday programme with a simple message: ‘now is the time to get back to winning ways!’

With all that in mind, written and designed in-house, in partnership with Ignition Sports media, The Ram, our award-winning official programme, really is the essential matchday purchase.
