Zero to Hero?

Cattermole?

Bit left field but in his early days he was arguably only ever a few seconds from a red card or rash tackle . Now he's worked on his temperament and his technique and he's the first name on the team sheet for me.

I've always thought he was quality me, just young that's all, infact MON would never of got sacked if Cattermole hadn't missed the whole of that season IMO, hes been a vital player for years

Gavin McCann got stick from people who sat round me at the match when he first signed but turned into a mainstay

God no !!!

I must have been asleep in me seat when McCann was any good

Vergini has gone from a poor mans Stan Varga to the white 6 ft 5 Cafu.

 

[Randy Savage]

Nyron

For all his tricks and shit had us with our hearts in our mouths, he played a huge part in us going up in 2006/07 and staying up the year after, aided of course by the excellent Evans.

When he first signed I thought what the fuck is he.

Gavin McCann got stick from people who sat round me at the match when he first signed but turned into a mainstay

And it's only ten years after he played for us that people seem to rate him.

I remember him being Gavin McCann't throughout his stay.

Kept disappearing, you mean?

In terms of being underwhelmed when we signed him to being a hugely important player for us...

He was very good for us for a good few years. Bizzare comment

 

[viccarlton]

Jozy. One of those occasional plAyers who is so shite but keeps on plugging that if he does come good he will be a hero

I imagine every Sunderland fan would really like this to happen.

 

[toomdog]

Andy Reid maybe?

The legend that was Nos

 

[DJM]

Nos is rightly getting the plaudits here but I also remember how underwhelmed I was when Dave Watson pissed off to big club Man City. We got some unknown lad called Jeff Clarke as a makeweight.

Clarke won me over.

Kevin Phillips

When he signed I looked myself in the mirror and asked myself,

"How is this no mark going to get us in to the premiere league of this nation? He's got 25 in 59 for Watford. Utter shite. Fuck him. Fuck the board. Fuck the boards."

Welbeck.

Everybody said he was shit, not good enough etc. He was immensely disliked for a month or two, then played up front once or twice and all of a sudden he was a world-beater.
