Fairs Cup winner Bob Moncur signed for Sunderland and drove to training in a car with "Newcastle United" painted on the front and side, something he admits was "a big mistake".
I thought the world would end the day Lee Clark signed for the Unwashed! Then Robbie Elliott followed FFS!
But one player who would NEVER sink so low is Joey Barton.
The former Newcastle midfielder has 18 months left on his contract with QPR and was rumoured to be a January target for new Sunderland manager Gus Poyet.However, Barton has given short shrift to the idea on Twitter.Joey Barton: 'I'd never play for the Mackems‘Me to 5under1and? Somehow I just don’t think so.‘I value the time I spent at NUFC. I value the relationship I have with the toon army to this day. I could never play for the Mackems.‘It wouldn’t be right. Not sure were the rumour came from. But as usually its nonsense.’
