Striker
well that was sort of what I was thinking as well TBF..Ive no doubt he lived in the north east as a player...but thats not the same as sunderland..Technically, he lived in County Durham not Sunderland when he played for us but we can't really discount that.
and as chairman doubtless he had a property in sunderland but his family home is in eadestown in co kildare..he has quite deep roots there now...I think he is part of the consortium that owns lawlors hotel-a famous horse racing one-and just bought the johnstown inn..
