The Man Who 'Dumped' On The Mackems

Despite shitting on the Mackems from a great height . Darren Bent has denied betraying Sunderland for Aston Villa ahead of his first appearance against his former club this weekend. Darren Bent: "I had 18 months at Sunderland and every single moment was fantastic. "The way it came to an end was really disappointing because I felt like all the good work I did went out of the window, but I will always - always - look back on it with very fond memories, regardless of the reception I get at the weekend. "Whatever happens, I will not celebrate if I score - there won't be any badge-kissing or anything like that - because I had such good times up there. I have huge respect for the people at Sunderland and what they did for me. I owe that respect to the stadium." Then he burst out laughing and said to the camera-man "Cut! Cut!"
