10 Coolest Sunderland Players Of The Premier League Era

3. Nyron Nosworthy

Never the most talented player to take to the Stadium of Light turf, Nyron Nosworthy won the hearts of every Wearsider with a string of committed performances over the course of five seasons. This list might not be packed with the most loyal players ever to pull on a red and white shirt, but Nyron is certainly an exception in this regard, playing wherever asked and fighting desperately, desperately hard to overcome his limitations. Coolest Moment: Having suffered a heartbreaking relegation at the end of the record-breakingly awful 2005/06 campaign, the sight of a shirtless Nosworthy celebrating Sunderland's subsequent promotion with the fans still lives long in the memory.
