Sunderland recall Shaun Elliott and Colin Todd
On 12/10/1970 Sunderland rejected reports of a £150,000 Manchester United bid for captain Colin Todd, with Alan Brown insisting he was ‘not for sale’ before his later move to Derby County.
Profile of Shaun Elliott, Sunderland’s tough-tackling player who made 368 appearances, won promotion in 1980, captained the side and featured in the 1-0 win at Liverpool in 1983.
Igor Paixão said he is more likely to leave Marseille next summer than in January after Sunderland tried to sign him. The winger also reiterated his ambition to play in the Premier League.
Malick Fofana’s agent said his move from Lyon to Sunderland was especially satisfying and described the winger as a really good player for the Premier League after the deadline-day transfer.
Danny Murphy praised Brighton as a ‘really clever’ side after Sunderland lost 2-0, highlighting their organisation, composure and ruthlessness, including after Pascal Struijk’s red card.
