Take the toughness of Cattermole, add a touch of European sophistication (and about three inches of height), and you get the indomitable Lorik Cana. The Albanian national captain arrived from Marseilles for around £5,000,000, and immediately wowed fans with his domination of the midfield. The fact that he was quickly made club captain speaks volumes about Cana's influence, both on and off the field, and he will always be fondly remembered despite spending only one season on Wearside. Best Moment: With only a solitary season of games to choose from, Cana's debut remains his most impressive moment - if only for the moment Sunderland fans to realise quite what the club had got their hands on. He bossed the midfield in a narrow 1-0 win over Bolton Wanderers, immediately establishing himself as one of the strongest players in the side.
