Connor Wickham

[steesafc]

Enjoyed the footballers lifestyle without ever really enjoying the football it seems. One little purple patch with us that kept us up but largely nothing else. Hes had a **** run with injuries but if the crack about him loving to party are true hes probably not helped himself in that regard.

Typical Bruce signing, spending £6m and lashing out huge wages on an 18 year old we couldn’t coach.

Bought alongside Craig Gardner, Sebastian Larsson, Keiren Westwood and Ji Dong-Won. What a window that was

The beginning of our downward spiral.

When you consider the quality that had left the squad in the 12 months prior. Letting the likes of Malbranque and Zenden go but then replacing them with inferior players.

Aye tried to make the squad ‘younger’, just made it ‘****ter’

 

[Jack Ford]

I think for his size he was easily knocked off the ball. I disliked his haircuts and tattooes as well!!. Soft as ****e.

One of my major dislikes of players that have played for SAFC though he was injured most of the ti,e

 

[rb92]

He was more bothered about styling his hair than playing football.

 

[Jack Ford]

i just remember the pictures of him in the papers, on Holiday in the pool with a magnum of champers and babes, for him and his dopey hanging on mates, and thought get rid this tosser has to go, getting pissed 2 days before pre season very unprofessional

Well said that man. My sentiments exactly

 

[LD19SAFC]

Di Canio wasn’t a fan Called him a playboy iirc

Curiosity got me to look up one of those stories.

The claim was that it was a 15 LITRE 'bottle' of Champagne and it cost him £17,000.

It's not hard to see why there isn't a lot of sympathy being shown to him.

The beginning of our downward spiral.

At least Bruce is doing us a favour now, tacking them the right way towards relegation

 

[MrRAWhite]

Never fulfilled his early potential.

I think Seb did alright to be fair to him, definitely tried for us and contributed. Not arguing with your overall point like mate

 

[Disco down under]

Wasn't his old man a bit fame hungry too? Always spouting off as I recall.

 

[Iain]

There was without question a player in there. His mentality was never the best but I think the injuries made that worst and that’s why he faded.

Fit and strong he may have had a very different career.

I remember seeing him after one of the games when he first signed and wasnt really getting a game, I would have told anyone what a lovely lad he was spoke to my son for ages.
Saw him again at the end of the season when he went on the run of scoring that kept us up, what a prick, ignored every fan there, strutting around with that dumpy twat from the club who escorts the players to the car who thinks he's rambo.
Obviously thought he was a superstar when in reality he'd had 6 decent games

That magnificent summer where we replaced Gyan, Henderson, Zenden, Malbranque, Mensah & Welbeck with Whickham, Gardner, Larsson, Vaughan, O'Shea & Bendtner

 

[Neil]

I always wished we'd kept Bolo, even if to move him into a coaching role.

Ji was worth whatever we paid for him for THAT goal alone.

 

[John Wick]

Gotta factor in the injuries as well, didn’t help himself there by not keeping himself fit of course.

He could play a bit, but was so fleeting and he always looked knackered.

Still got a few years to dig a bit out of it amazing he has t signed for Ipswich really they’ve signed everyone else.

This, I think he trained and built himself with muscle because he thought that's how a big centre forward should be, when in reality, he probably could have been a few stone lighter because the skill and movement were there, just look at the purple patch he went on and kept us up. For that effort I'll always hold him in high regard. He was unplayable at times.

40k sunderland fans, staff, manager all shouting "GOOO ONNN" and waving toward the North stand.when the ball bounced of Killganans face and dropped into midfield. Im sure it was Seb that took the ball into midfield, gave it to the prick that's at Wigan now, hands on his knees in the centre circle absolutely shattered. I swear the fans willed the ball into the net that day. Absolutely class. Brilliant atmosphere, remember it well. So, aye, Wickham.
