Sunderland Legends In Conversation I Defoe I Phillips I Reid

[Karlsson]

His story to end the night about getting revenge during a match against the wrong player was brilliantly told and hilarious!

Indeed it was had both me and my grandad absolutely creased!

 

[Blyth]

You work for the club you like. you must do. Not normal how sycophantic you are about them

Aye mate of course. You just keep your agenda. I’ve criticised the club plenty.

I'm Danish!!!!!!

 

[Bob Fleming]

Maybe he meant Broadhead who came of the bench to score the winner the game after Defoe retired.
Personally i didnt buy much of his explanation. I just think his legs packed in and he couldnt get into the spaces he'd been all his career

Yeah felt a bit awkward as he was telling it. Like he was making it up.
Would have preferred he just said he was off the pace. He clearly was. There may have been other noise too but that was it.

 

[SAFC Wilks]

No surprise Neil had apparent bad man management skills. Seemingly falls out with a fair few players.

 

[Freddie the Greek]

There was a few things the lads misremembered like. Defoe saying Allardyce was Manager when he scored that volley, can't remember beating Grimsby away 5-1 either, I think Reidy was on about the 4-0 game.

It was the 4-0. Bally told Same story recently on under the cosh IIRC.

But he got us out of that division, so it obviously worked!

Oh I don’t doubt that he was good for us at the time - well, a lot better than his other league one managers for us.

Just saying he has fell out with a fair few at most of the clubs he’s been at. Seems to think he’s better than he is imo.

Still though, was good in getting us out of league one so I thank him for that; but he can fuck off otherwise.

I absolutely agree with you on all of that!
And it was a good night all in; went very quickly.

Aye, thought he did.

Aye, there was loads more they could have covered like.

Same with a lot of players, it means more to fans so we remember certain things better - apparently.

[SAFCDurhamFTM]

Thought it was a great night, though I was expecting a bit more of when they were SAFC players/manager. Defoe mentioned the Chelsea game, but only a brief mention of mags goal. Not much by SKPs career here etc. But was a good laugh anyway.

And Defoe hinted at Beheaddie being a boring twat.

 

[Unbalanced Views]

A great night but over before it got started really, maybe the three of them was too much to cram into one evening

 

[moshpit]

Couple of things i never knew too. Philips pro debut was against us. And Defoe only player to have been red carded three times before xmas. Mad that.

the mrs has just told me that story. was it a german/norwegian mix up?

 

[Dreadnought]

Ez

German/Danish - an easy mistake to make I suppose!

 

[DieselBert]

They could have spent more on their time at Sunderland however I did like the juxtaposition of Defoe being so sought after at 16 that West Ham paid a million quid compo to Charlton and Kev being so ignored that he had to wait for injuries to play up front at a non league club.
