10 Gary Rowells
Striker
My first hero was Gary Rowell - same school as me. Followed by Marco, then Julio and then Defoe. Now? Well I'm not so sure there's anyone even remotely close.
Favourite players in different periods.

Similar to me to be honest, but maybe SKP included to that list too??
maybe being a 51 year old changes things, but hard to find a “favourite” player currently?

You named all of mine, apart from Tueart, Watson and Defoe, you old bastard
oi, not so much of the old

I thought Buchanan had summit. He was no worse than a lot who were picked regular to save mc menemys face. Right place wrong time for him I’m afraid.
Proffesor H Plum
Midfield
Most already said but I have fond memories of Stanley Cummings dancing down the wing too
What happened to him? he was magic in his first spell for us, fucked off because of a glitch in his contract and was shit when he came back

Strangely enough I couldn’t pick out anyone from the best 2 teams of ours I’ve seen apart from Halom who’s the greatest player in the history of the game so doesn’t reveal any preferences on my part as to which style or position I prefer. Nor anyone since Mvilla either.....

As a six aside team anyone?

Aye,I left the UK in the 70s Perhaps Neil Martin should be added to your first list,how the hell did did you miss off the brilliant George Herd.
I liked big Cec Irwin
Joe Bolton coming through was special.
Martin Harvey was very good.
Watson was majestic,his makeweight was good too Jeff Clarke
Towers and Porter field controlling games.
Bobby Parke sadly injured.Ritchie Pitt may have been a legend,injury again.
John Latham seemed to score a goal every game but couldn' t get a game.
Tueart,and of course Suggett looking so cool and calm making scoring look easy.
The sheer strength ,skill and power of hi ho hi ho it' s off to Mexico,with Colin Todd in the squad hi ho hi ho.
Had some gooduns

I remember John Lathan when I first started going to Roker Park with my old man and grandfather. Sunderland wearing white shorts.
Others on the fringe who I recall were Brian Chambers and Keith Coleman (who went to West Ham).Along with Lathan these 3 seemed good players. Could an older fan confirm or is my memory jaded?
Red haired Mick McGiven was another player of that time. What was he like?

I was only a bairn when Herd was playing so won’t have “seen” it. My dads marras used to tell me Todd was still at school!......which gave us all hope!
Chambers went to Arsenal and Coleman n McGiven to WHU so they must’ve had summit.
