Sunderland's Worst XI Of The 21st Century

9. Jozy Altidore

A man whose decline changed the fans' emotions with each passing week, Jozy Altidore cut an utterly desperate figure towards the end of his stint on Wearside. First they sympathised with him, then they were furious at his inability to control the simplest of balls. Eventually anger morphed into pity, and eventually an ironic sort of euphoria whenever he touched the ball. Jozy arrived after a fantastic time with AZ Alkmaar, notching 39 goals in 67 league appearances. He managed a solitary Premier League strike in two and a half seasons at the Stadium of Light, the opener in a 4-3 loss to Chelsea. The high point of his Sunderland career was arguably a bobbled first touch, accidentally setting up Fabio Borini for a rocket of a strike to vanquish Newcastle. Where Is He Now: FC Toronto. Sunderland somehow engineered a straight-swap for Jermain Defoe of all people, a decision which proved crucial in saving themselves from relegation last season.
