... now we've lost Gooch.
I'm just guessing here but I'd say people didn't fully realise what a legend Gooch was until he left, I didn't.
Which set me off wondering who's going to be next to earn that accolade. Most of our squad haven't been here long enough for us to be able to pronounce their names properly let alone have any real bond with them. There are so many possibilities which, in my opinion, is a 360 degree turnaround from the days when I actually hated the majority of our players. Many of them were the kind of big name signings some still seem to pine for but this thread isn't a dig so enough about that.
This a just a bit of fun while we're waiting for the games to start again.
Of course this depends on players staying with us and, as we've seen with Stewart, modern football means things can change quickly. But, just out of interest, who can you see being up there with Rowell, Monty, Quinn et al. O'Nien looks like he's well on his way up the ladder while Rigg is taking his first steps. Ekwah has grabbed his chance to shine while some, like Seelt, haven't even had the chance to show what they can do and are replacing those who were becoming favourites.
I'm going for Ballard, future captain, future International captain and future trophy winner with Sunderland.
