Pumped up for Saturday after this.

Kevin Ball... We need someone like this fella in our team come January.

 

[Randy Ostrich]

Kevin Ball would probably still get a game ahead of Rodders tbf

 

[nelford_safc]

A bloke that would crawl over broken glass for Sunderland AFC and I’ll always love him for that. I met him once down peterlee he was waiting to do a charity skydive. I told him we could use him right about now and he said there’s times he wishes he could throw on a strip and run onto the pitch.

 

[Richie K]

Really can't understand the criticism he gets from some clowns on here. Yeah he isn't management material, but Jesus Christ not many people love the club as much as Bally!

Loved the comments about Reidy and Sacko!

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

He’s a top bloke. And loves the club.

But let’s be honest, he was a bang average player.

If he was bang average.... What does that make Cattermole

Define average? Average in World football? Probably. Average in England..no- above average. Average at Sunderland..absolutely not. First class in fact.

 

[NiallFin]

The only player I have seen to rattle his own crossbar from a tackle way outside of the box.

Not the best footballer but a great leader on the pitch
Something we've been lacking since he packed in

I can mind years back walking to RP with me cowboy from the chippy and as I crossed 1towards new derby he was walking from seafront where his(sponsored) car had broken down. He walked up with me and my mate slagging his car off whilst helping us to eat our chips. As said in here bang average player but commitment to the cause made him what he is here now.

 

[Kid Galahad]

Despite all the vitriol, he was and is a top lad.

Was it one of those Talbot Sunbeam’s ?

Not long after passing my driving test a group of us decided to head down to the Blackburn game. Halfway there got a flat so we all piled out of the car to attempt to fix it. Next thing we know some big 4x4 pulls up behind us and it's Bally seeing if we needed a hand. He was on his way to a Burnley match (think he was working for them at the time) but said he would have preferred to be heading to Blackburn.

 

[Kevsgoldenboot]

Or rodwell

Rodwell makes Bally look like Ya Ya Toure

 

[Cheesy Feet]

Had a bit crack with him in a furniture shop through Team Valley..smashing bloke.

 

[Kevsgoldenboot]

This goal was outstanding. Who in our team now would score a goal like that?
