John searches for first goal
Striker Stern John will be searching for his first goal for Sunderland in weeks to come, after he set up up their 71st minute strike in Saturday’s 2-0 win over Plymouth to improve their promotion chances.
John made his debut versus ex-club Coventry City last weekend, but couldn’t keep up his record of goalscoring performances on debut after performing that feat for ex-teams Nottingham Forest, Birmingham City and Coventry City.
Nonetheless, the 30-year-old goal-getter is hoping his addition to the lineup alongside Carlos Edwards and Dwight Yorke can help the club move into the Premiership.
“That is why I came here... because I want to play in the Premiership again and I want to play a part in getting the club back up again,” John said. “I think Dwight wants to go up again, Carlos wants to play at the highest level and I would love to finish off my career in England by playing in the top flight.
That desire, along with hard work and some luck, hopefully can do it for all of us,” he added. John also graces the covers of a new magazine – Stars Soccer Review, which was produced by Aldwyn McGill’s Caribbean All Stars out of Toronto in Toronto and highlights T&T’s 2006 World Cup participation, as well as football in North America and Trinidad.
