Sunderland

  • Nickname:  Sunderland (they are not necessarily very imaginative up north)

  • Most notorious person.   Niall Quinn who has a reputation as a thoroughly nice guy.  He gave all his testimonial money to charity, he flew Sunderland fans back to England when they got stuck (at his own expense) and he just seems a decent bloke. 

  • Ownership:  Presumably mostly Niall Quinn, so Irish (which is to say, “foreign”)

  • Best known song:   Sorry, but I couldn’t understand a single word anyone said to me.

  • Most obvious tactics:   Leave the maniac killer in the manager’s office.  Seems to have improved since they tried to kill Abu Diaby.

  • Greatest claim to fame:  They have a big stadium named after a district in Benfica for reasons that I have never understood.
