Sunderland’s 10 Greatest Premier League Loan Signings

10. Nedum Onuoha

Onuoha stood in as the first choice right back throughout much of the 2010-11 season and defended diligently for the most part. Considering that the 2010-11 campaign is widely regarded as Sunderland’s most successful in recent years, Onuoha must be recognised for the defensive part he played in the side’s top ten finish.

The obvious highlight to emerge from Nedum’s time in red and white is doubtless his unbelievable, jinking run at Stamford Bridge, where he left several Chelsea defenders in his wake, before slotting the ball into the far corner to kick start Sunderland's famous 3-0 away triumph.

Onuoha’s recent Premier League years at QPR have proved far less productive, yet he’s fondly remembered for his contributions at Sunderland.
