Marco. That's me finish like....


Marco was a good, exciting player when he played for us. I remember being really disappointed when he left for Crystal Palace.
I know that people of my age still think of him as younger fans think of SKP.

But in hindsight, he was here 4 years of an almost 20 year career. He isn't North East born, he's a midlander. He played almost as many games for Northampton as he played for us.
He played more games for Derby and has more of an affinity with Derby County than he does with us.

We were just one step in his career.

We probably shouldn't listen too closely to what he says, or care.
 
Wonder whatever happened to his brother, anyone know?
"In the mid-nineties, after football, he went into the hospitality trade, a route which Marco later followed, and in 2019 took over the Ashbourne Hotel in his home town of York." It's a posh looking B&B by the looks of things, actually called Ashbourne House, and he runs it with his missus Fiona.

Some of the comments slagging Marco off on here are a complete mess and genuinely embarrassing. A massive SAFC legend.

Here's a clip of one of several absolute corkers he scored in the top flight for us.

Absolute rubbish. He doesn't have more of an affinity with derby at all. Sunderland is the team he aligns to most as he's said several times. Including when he served me breakfast once.
