5 stars to have played for both Sunderland and Hull City

David Meyler

David Meyler, we found, was always pretty impressive when he featured in a red and white shirt.

The midfielder joined in 2008 when Roy Keane was in charge, however it took him a year to make his professional debut.

This was against Blackburn Rovers in 2009 and having been at that game myself, he did impress despite only being 20-years-old at the time.

However, injuries halted Meyler’s progression and he was eventually shipped off to Hull, initially on loan, after making just 25 appearances in his five-year spell at Sunderland.

Since then, the Irishman has made a whopping 122 appearances for the Tigers.
