    A true colossus of a man, in his prime he would of walked into this current Sunderland team. In fact he could probably still at his age, cos lets be fair no one in the back four are playing out of their skins at the moment. Enjoy your night.<ok>

    He would have been first choice England centre half (world cup medal) had he not chosen Irish Republic as a teenager. Can still hear the chant for Charlie as he strode up for every corner. In todays terms he would have had more assists than most players.

    If you get the chance ask him about the night Sunderland hammered Benfica 5-2 when they were top Euro Cup team.
