Suggested by one of the lads on the best XI thread, i picked it up, be a timely reminder just how far we've come!
As a start, i'm putting down my team for my Sunderland supporting life (last 23 years)
GK - KELVIN DAVIS- Couldn't catch herpes in the Bigg Market
DF - GARETH HALL - No explanation needed.
DF - PAUL McSHANE - See Gareth Hall
DF - RUSSELL ANDERSON - As much value for money as a City Rover
DF - DANNY SIMPSON -I may be stirring here
MF - JEFF WHITLEY -This man was not a footballer.
MF - NICOLAS MEDINA -'The 'new Maradona', was a typo, surely? Could he sing...
MF - IAN RODGERSON - Made running look a difficult skill.
MF - DICKSON 'second touch is a tackle' ETUHU - See nickname
CF - LILLIAN LASLANDES - Big reputation, big money **** player.
CF - JON STEAD - Was a great defender, for the opposition.
Feel free to tell me i'm wrong, if you stop shuddering before June.
The plan will be to count the votes, and replace where required from my team, with players going back a few years further.
Hall, McShane and Whitley are fixed, just so you know
If the player is from many moons ago, help me out with a position for voting, as i may not know them, i was brought up believing everyone who ever played for Sunderland before my time was Pele-esque... Cheers Granda.
