Good news, stalkers - sometimes persistence pays off.
If you were questioning whether to make that one last phone call to a seemingly indifferent sweetheart, Dick Advocaat's return to Sunderland should encourage you to think again. The 67-year-old Dutchman was all set to retire after leading the Black Cats to Premier League survival but, as he told De Telegraaf: "The club kept calling." So there you have it - a little perseverance, a won't-take-no-for-an-answer attitude and a costly international phone bill, and you could be united with your dream girl after all. https://twitter.com/SunderlandAFC/status/606447458084896768Explore more on these topics:
