Patrick Roberts to Birmingham compendium

Possibly the best 'big game player' that we have had since we left the PL last time. Came up with big moments on big occasions time and time again.

Assist in playoff final, goal in playoff semi final in 93rd minute and even the curling effort against Watford to get a draw at our place in the first season back at Championship to help us get that playoff place.

Absolutely loved him in his time here, even through the frustrating spells.

Best of luck to him at Birmingham permanently.
 

Nice words from Speakman there. Especially this bit... "Patrick believed in Sunderland when we needed him, and we believed in Patrick when he needed a home."

Class player.
Watching the stid episodes,and he alluded to having mental health problems,and that he needed a home and found it with Sunderland. I hope we helped him as much as he helped us. Great player and bloke.
 
Good luck to the lad.

Always loved Paddy and he changed the game when he came on in the play off final- massive part of our promotion.

Was always useful as you could judge if posters on here understood football by looking at their opinion of him.
 
Despite my issues with Roberts you could never fault his 100% effort and commitment to the cause, typified by his cameo in the playoff final. Coming on with his leg heavily strapped to try and impact the game and help turn it in our favour, which he duly did. So he leaves with my best wishes. Top lad. Top pro. Best of luck Pat, rip it up.
 
Absolute quality on his day, loved watching him and one of his biggest supporters. His link up play with Amad was worth the admission fee alone.

He got us to where we are now with a lovely cameo in the PO final, that pass to Mayenda was sublime.

Good luck Pat, all the best for the future.
