How do players rate. The best local player to ones that were canny crap really. Jordan Henderson flying the flag high lately. The other Jordan doing well in goal. Monty was a Hendon lad. A legend. Pop Robson was also a Sunderland lad i think. Sure it was Roker. Smashing player. Anymore for anymore? N. B they dont have to have played for safc.
It says Hendon on his wiki page (aye i know). Mind they also have Sunderland County Durham. So not the most reliable of sources.
A true iconic player for me was from Chester le Street - Colin Todd - t r e men dous - I was a left half in my youth and TRIED to model my game on him So as it is Sunder - land why not include those born near the Wear - Shaun Elliot, Gary Rowell and Howard Kendall .......Bryan Robson - many others
Get ya own boundary lines, if i wanted to include any ****, i would have worded it that way. Eric Gates.. Ferryhill... Thats not ****ing Sunderland. So i didnt include him
Nigel Clough Alan Kennedy Mick Harford Martin Smith Micky Hazard Raich Carter Bob Paisley. That's after a quick search on google mind.
As I posted why not include players born on near banks of River Wear - would include many more players You are not keen to do this - Gary Moore - fringe Sunderland player in 70's lived at bottom of my street in Sunderland -
Johnson was born in Sunderland and brought up in Easington, County Durham, in North East England.[5] Johnson played for Cleveland Juniors Football Club and attended Easington Community Science College.[6] Upon seeing Johnson score two goals at a Wembley Stadium seven-a-side school match, Johnny Haynes remarked, "You're a great little player. You've got a lovely left foot."[7] Took me about two seconds to find that.
