Yeah it’s great.
I grew up near Steve Cram and was amazing watching him become world champion.

They're Sunderland lads not SAFC lads. While I like them to do well for England I don't give a toss how they play for their club sides.
If Jewison Bennette had have scored I'd have been doing cartwheels as he's a SAFC lad.

Perspective please. Too much emphasis is put on heritage when it comes to football players. Yes Jordan Henderson and Jordan Pickford are from Sunderland but they no longer play for Sunderland. Football is a sport of clubs. Not homes. Southgate picks players based on their club, not on where they are from.

Football has a horrible habit of taking you far away from home. Once you are sold by your hometown club and the club that started your career like we saw with Jordan Henderson and Jordan Pickford, the chances of you going back to re-sign are slim I think. I don’t know of many players who went back to sign for their hometown club. Once you get sold that is it. You leave your parent club behind to make something of yourself.

We don’t really have much to shout about so being proud of two local lads who are born n bred here is important. I’m proud of anyone from Sunderland who does well in their chosen field...Fulwell 73, Kate Adie, Dave Stewart etc etc.

So I say be proud of where you’re from and celebrate the area.
