25 years old by the looks of it. Never played at a high level. Not even sure it makes sense in terms of marketing. Doubt North Korea is a market anyone is desperate to crack into.

Blimey! If we do get him then I expect that our existing players will have to pull their socks up cos their leader might then take an interest in Sunderland. Any sort of failure then they may risk getting shot!
