Ross Stewart

[Definitely Maybe]

Most of the players we had from 2017-2025 were very 'for the time' - fine for where we were but probably wouldn't really be remembered in years to come. There's only a handful of exceptions who I really looked forward to watching and were shining lights in a generally shit period - Stewart, Clarke, McGeady and O'Nien (more for his personality than anything else).

He deserved the contract, we just unfortunately (or in hindsight, fortunately) weren't in a position to give him it. Glad he's had a few years on decent money but it's a terrible shame how it's panned out for him. Wish him well.

Returns to light training after 3 months out

Next week returns to 3 months out after light training….(not nice but inevitable)

Had he not got injured he was about to get us promoted on his todd in our first season back in the championship, was on course for 35+ goals or something

I think he got 10 or 11 in 18 games. Scored loads off the bounce around new year. I think going up that season we’d of been worse off than now. I don’t think I look back sad, because this previous may was biblical!

From what I remember he was injured when we signed him and early into his Sunderland career. Feel free to correct me if a meringue. Ross was great for SAFC.

I think you’re right, but from memory it was a short term knock and nowt like the injuries he’s endured since then

One of my favourite players from the last few years. Loved watching him, and that goal at Wembley will never be forgotten.

Genuinely think he'd be in our side today if not for some horrendous injuries.

There are many players from our time in league one to forget. Ross is not one of them. Always wish good luck to the lad.

 

[Spennymoor72]

If he hadn’t have got injured he’d be a top player now thought he was class

One of the brighter lights in quite a dark and shitty period in our clubs history. Enjoyed watching him, scored all types of goals anarl.

“The lanky jock”

I wish him nowt but the best. He’s a very good player and seems a top lad

 

[turbo bratwurst]

Had a bad injury record before we signed him I think. He's got everything but made of glass, must be nearly thirty now I guess

 

[No. 1 is Gary Rowell]

Really.....? There was shouts for the owner and those responsible to be booted out of the club forever. I DID read it on here.

That was the start of the trust in what we are doing....!

What a numpty.

 

[OtLeYmAcKeM]

I think light training is all he can handle

What a weird, unnecessary comment about a player who was great for us

We did well getting rid when we did for a good amount of money, great player for us though

Which is exactly what the Mags will say about Isak eventually.

 

[Flea Market Trader]

How many times! There’s no such thing as a pay as you play deal!!

There is

Poor lad is cursed. But he’s got 5 months to get into the World Cup squad.

Like many great players he makes it look so easy .

 

[Ohnonotagain]

Didn’t he get slated early on at Sunderland?

Didn’t he get slated early on at Sunderland?

Not by me.
You could tell straight away he was much better than Wyke.
