    Nice to see Pop back at Sunderland.

    Just been appointed as chief scout to replace Ricky.

    I think he jined us either 3 or 4 times as a playerat least twice from West Ham and once from Carlisle. I think he was also worked as a coach in the past.

    True Sunderland fan born a stones throw away from the Roker End. Wanted to sign for us as a kid but for some reason he was picked up by them up the road as a school boy. But he found his way home.

    I still think he was the best uncapped forward of his day

    I used to love watching Pop at Roker Park, def one of my favourites. I would fondly slap his baldy heed if I saw him today

    Pop was born in Sandringham Terrace next to the Fulwell end. He was a real striker.

    Yes he as the best goal poacher I can recall. If you add up the distance from goal for every one of his goals you still would be in te same half.

    What a fabulous player he was...Let's hope he can teach some of the current squad to put the ball in the back of the net..

    Washy you must must be a canny thrower if you can throw a stone from the Roker End to the Fulwell End mate.
