Sun Jihai - your memories

[Northerndave]

What a beast.

Seriously, why did you feel the need to resurrect a thread that has been pushing up daisies for 10 years?

Seriously, why did you feel the need to resurrect a thread that has been pushing up daisies for 10 years?

Because I didn't know Sun Jihai.

Because, like a big part of the world, I ignored Manchester City pre Pep, Pellegrini and Mancini and milions of pounds.

Because like a big part of world for me City begin with Agüero, Tevez and etc.

And that's not true.

Because for me and for a big part of world, for almost all my life, City was "the other" from Manchester that "I think I remember, they wear blue sky shirt".

And today I learn and discover a past.

Because your history is the history of the homeless become King. And that story is fascinating.

Wasn't that Sergio?

They inducted Jihai into the English football hall of fame just for the press opp and politics. Bizarre.

I went Southampton away for an early Saturday kick off and had £10 on 1st goalscorer Sun Jihai and £10 last goalscorer Sun Jihai at odds of 40/1. Sure some of you will remember the sitter he missed and the game ended 0-0. I don't gamble anymore.

My burning memory of him was scoring an own goal against Middlesborough at home with the visitors winning the game 0-1 without having a shot on target:

He was immense against Chelsea at home. Can't remember the year, might have been 2005. We ended up losing (was it?) 1-0 to a Gudjonsen winner. Sun was the best player on the pitch.

I was going to mention that game. But I'm sure Anelkas pen sealed a 1-0 win and Sun went off injured
Might have also been the game, when Mourinho was told to sit down more than once by the fans after he was getting animated at Checs constant miskicks

I am putting that one down as a Dunney own goal!

Have you translated that from Mandarin?

You are a Sun Jihai and I claim my £5

I remember that bastard Styles giving a pen against Sun when a fair shoulder charge ended up with the oppo player bouncing off him. Unbelievable.

Birmingham away. Awful decision
