i have just been sat here thinking and reminiscing of past players some great characters and some genuine quality players... then Gareth Hall pops into my mind, i shudder and suddenly feel very angry, i hated that ginger mong! i was gutted for Dariusz Kubicki he never beat the record... oh yeah also used to really like Martin Scott
Relic Dept. here. Len Shackleton - the total magician, the madcap comedian, the one-off unpredictable match-winner. And afterwards, he had a smile, a kind word and an autograph for any kid who asked - ordinary kids like me. Magical player, nice man - says it all, really.
How about a strange off the wall one. Cecil Erwin I ****ing loved the guy (In a none Jersey way. ) for some strange reason.
Just thought can I have another one? Little Stan Cummins. Saw him score 4 in a game. Scored against the skunks to win the game for us. Plus he knocked back Keegan who wanted him at Newcastle.
Bobby Kerr, a little midfield general not the best player around but by god he gave his all in every match. Kevin Ball for the same reasonalways on the go full90 mins worth.
Just for the pleasure and the memories...it has to be Porterfield for me. Kevin Arnott was a favourite as was SKP.
Can't pick between SKP and Marco. Probably THE 2 most exciting players I've seen at Sunderland. For some reason I always liked that American midfielder Reidy brought from Rangers, can't remember his name now, someone please tell.
That's him, I saw some glimpses of real quality from him, shame he was injured most of the time he was with us.
I cant make my mind up between SKP or SNQ Both top players and LOYAL to our club, SKP scored some cracking goals and only cost 500k & The big fella chipped in with a few goals aswell and both of there over all play was outstanding. What i wouldnt give to have them both back in there prime & playing for us now
