Combined Boro/Sunderland side of the last 30 years

In all seriousness it’s probably nearly one hundred percent Boro players. It’s not even a joke really is it
You're right, Niall Quinn was good and Mickey Gray but after that I'm going back to Garry Bennett and Marco Gabbiadini probably over 30 years ago so they don't count🤣

Philips would definitely get in but apart from that another player genuinely doesn’t come close
 
The best ever you know Sunderland player was John "you know" Byrne. And he was just you know a **** John Hendrie you know. I miss the days when footballers weren't you know media trained.
 
If we're being serious then Philips would be in the squad and I think I'd have to put Sorensen over Randolph.

Defoe was unreal for them as well but not sure I'd take him over Viduka, Hasselbaink, Ravanelli, Boksic etc.
 
Hmm
No Pickford, Henderson, Defoe , Phillips, Bent
Phillips 30 goals in one Premier season
Darren Bent 25
Not sure ( could be wrong ) if any Boro players have beaten those 2 ?
Pickford 50 England caps
Henderson 74 caps
 
If we're going on total careers, rather than just at the two clubs, there'd probably be a good few more Sunderland players in there.

Probably the opposite. We've had some players that weren't necessarily great for us that had great careers. Their best players are the strikers mentioned above but they wouldn't get near peak Boksic, Ravanelli, Hasselbaink, Viduka. Sorensen was mentioned in goal but we've had Given and one of the most decorated players of all time in Victor Valdes. In midfield we've had Mendieta, Gazza and Ince. In defence Woodgate, Ziege, Reiziger have played for the biggest teams in the world.

Just counting their time at Sunderland or Middlesbrough then Phillips is possibly the only one that would be considered.

Sunderland have had some good strikers but none of them other than Defoe really beats yakubu viduka jfh or Ravenelli

I’m not big in Pickford, he’s overrated. But I think he makes the bench before Randolph

Henderson wasn’t the finished article at Sunderland, he actually won 1 cap while he was there and that was during an experimental period

We didn’t see him in an England shirt for another 18 months after it
 
Should get them froffing at the mouth, they’ll be checking this board even though they don’t care about us

😮‍💨
Trying to remember If I’m missing someone obvious, we haven’t had the best right backs over the years but not sure they can claim to have anyone better than Young and we could play Geremi there.

Phillips would be on the bench for me, Prime Viduka and Jimmy Floyd all day for me.

You are right though, they will mention names like Yann Mvila and Sessegnon 😂
