Memories of Danny Dichio

[Lord Potts]

He was better than Jon Stead any road but then again I am.

A one legged person is better than Jon stead

 

[Bakerlooline]

Always seemed unpopular with Sunderland fans but he loved us and always gave 100%. Scored some important goals and probably eserves more credit than he has ever gotten.

 

[Doctor Diesel]

diving header

 

[rockaway]

Diving header at the south stand where it looked like he just prematurely fell over... Turned out it was a really good header, against Ipswich maybe?

 

[Best RB in the world]

Scoring in the last minute vs Villa at home only for the red to rule it out cos that plank David James had dived into his own man (Ehiogu I think). Would've won 2-1

 

[Mantobar]

Taking his boots off in play off final so he didnt have to take a pen.

 

[Fetch Fletch]

Scoring against us for West Brom

 

[CraigyLee]

Being sent off at West Ham when we'd have gone top with a win.

Scoring a late winner at home to Bury, header North Stand - we went top and stayed there all season after that.

Missed a sitter that game

I hated dichio probably because he wasn't bridges

If I knew what was to come between 04-08 I'd of been a bit less hasty

 

[Laeotaekhun]

I never understood why Reid seemed to have him ahead of Bridges in the pecking order.

 

[silas80]

Had a chat with him walking by south stand at Bally's testimonial v Sampdoria. Seemed really canny.

And his goal against Crystal Palace.

That's pretty much it tbh

 

[Hamwise]

He wasn't unpopular by any stretch.

 

[Scorer]

A decent cover target man cursed by that miss and not being Michael Bridges. Better than anyone we later tried to replace Quinny with. Really shouldn't have been ahead of Bridges as often though as Micky would have been the Quinny replacement, albeit very different in style, if we'd kept him.

 

[humbug]

my only memory of him really is at the ideal home exhibition at earls court where we saw him browsing the patio heater area. not sure if he bought one or not mind.

 

[Hmmmmmm returns]

Calais racing Union pre season friendly.

 

[CollingwoodFTM]

Aye, gotcha. Apologies, I remembered a red card and Dichio messing up. 2 plus 2 equals 5.

Easily done mate. I'm finding that games begin to merge into one as time passes.

 

[samaistonsrightfoot]

Playoff f***ing final

 

[Crook Mackem]

awful player, along with mccann my most disliked player of that period

 

[Silver Feather]

He was pretty bad yet you could probably name another 100 worse Sunderland players.

 

[Cosmopolitan]

He was shit, that's my memory.
