Ex world class players, no did nowt. Andy Cole Dwight Yorke. But previously superb, but we got them at the **** end of their careers. Any more?
Yeah Waddle was the only other I could think of. World class may be a bit of a stretch for him mind. He had quite a bit of impact for us didn't he?
The daft thing about Waddle was he was a lifelong Sunderland fan who was ignored by our youth set-up (sound familiar) and ended up being signed by them up the road. He eventually realised his dream of playing for SAFC, but by then he was well past it and a panic signing by Reidy in a desperate attempt to keep us up. (and yeah, world class might be pushing it, but in his pomp he was a bloody good player)
Steve Bould was quality, even when he played for us i seem to remember! He would walk into the England team now! Cant believe he only won 2 caps!!!
