And it's surprising that virtually none of their ex-players have gone on to bigger things. Off the top of my head I can think of young Pickford who ought to be a good player one day; Jack Rodwell who did well as a kid for Sunderland and then disappeared without trace after signing for Man City; and that's about it. Sad really.
Jack Rodwell was at Everton from the age of 7 and joined Sunderland from Man City (who he joined from Everton).
Ah, my bad. So Sunderland made him disappear without trace? Sounds about right...
Sundercover or Sunderground? :think:
