Leroy Rosenior in 1987. We beat Fulham 2-0 away , Marco scored twice. I listened on the radio and you could hear Sunderland fans singing his name as it was 'just waiting for the ink'.

True, according to the man himself. I asked him about one time when I had the chance to meet him. Told me there was interest, he was tempted, but for some reason, the move never happened.
