The last genuine world class player to play in the north east imo. Slightly before my time but wow the lad is absolutely sensationally good prior to the ankle break in late 90s.

Granit Xhaka 25/26 is the last genuinely world class player to play in the North East.
It’s absolutely shite bait.

Ahead of his time in the Premier League for sure, would be interesting to see how he would be rated these days. Somewhere similar to Pacqueta I reckon.

Part of an era of "superstars" Boro signed under Bryan Robson that finished below and failed to beat a Sunderland team who's top scorer had 4 goals and biggest name signing was a 37 year old Chris Waddle

Not even close to being true he scored 12 PL goals that year he was not the reason they went down

World class who played up here in last 30 years is slim pickings admittedly
Shearer, Ginola, Schwarz, Phillips, Ravinelli?
Apart from the cap wearer they were all short lived at very very very top top top level playing in north east
Boggled if I know

Not a bad player in his day, but he's possibly more well known, not for his skills on the pitch, but for his prowess in a cupboard, with former radio presenter, Judie McCourt.

And a slightly swarthier complexion.
Of course it depends how it’s defined.
If it’s players who were world class when they played in the north east then I’m not having him above Shearer and Isak.
And Michael Owen if we’re talking world class players who played after
The 40 caps for Brazil argument is funny too, they had some distinctly average players alongside some absolute brilliance
Edit: I’m not having him above Given either
