Nice one.

I loved Summerbee, we haven't had a player who whipped the ball in from anywhere like he did since he went.

Was tragic the way he was booted into touch really, all the best Nicky <ok>

As a point, he broke the 'Sessegnon has signed, number 28', 3 days before it was official, so add him on twitter ;)

Haha Brucey it's me again :)
Similar case to Ricco.
Watching Summerbee was so frustrating for me, we would be standing begging him to take a defender on, and so many times he didn't.
Yes he was one of the best crossers of the ball I have seen but too often didn't get in position to do it.
We all knew if he saw a tackle coming in he wouldn't try to keep the ball but jump out of the way!
The above more than anything sealed his fate at Sunderland IMO, as a winger you have to accept you're going to get tackled.

Ah my nemesis....(just for today like, seemingly...)

Beyond dispute was the quality of delivery into the box by Nicky, and the sheer amount of goals we scored during his spell is testimony to that.

He wasn't perfect, your right, but he WAS a weapon, or more specifically, and armoury!
