ROKER RAPPORT PODCAST: With former Sunderland, Man City and QPR defender - Nedum Onuoha!

Jonny caught up with Nedum at his home in Utah - where he's currently playing for Real Salt Lake in the MLS - to discuss his time at Sunderland through the 2010/11 season and a few of the highs and lows of his career so far.

What are we talking about?

Leaving his beloved Manchester City for the first time after rising through the Etihad ranks as a youngster; How did the move come about?

What were his thoughts on arrival on Wearside, and just how strong a squad did we have back then?

The Incident and the aftermath; Our defeat to Newcastle a decade ago seemed to prompt a change for the better in that side, what does he think caused 'the incident' and how did the team respond behind the scenes to such a blow?

As the side recovered and regained momentum, Nedum decided to go all Lionel Messi to score a quite spectacular goal in our victory over then Champions Chelsea at Stamford Bridge; Was that shock on his face or something else? Some context for that pic from his point of view...

The loss of Darren Bent; How many of the squad saw that coming, did it significantly impact squad unity or morale or was it just one of those things?

Jordan Henderson; Did Nedum see the player he would become today, and was there anything holding him back at the time? (Editors note: I love this answer like)

His favourite players, his best mates in the group, and his relationship with then manager Steve Bruce; Was he offered the chance to sign permanently? Would he have liked to?

Leaving to join QPR with Ferdinand; How did all that go then?

Nedum breaks down the big differences between the English leagues and the MLS, as well as telling us all about that Zlatan Ibrahimovic meltdown;

His top 5 players and his favourite manager to work under, also... can he bring himself to watch Sunderland Til I Die?

Great chat with a great player and character who helped us achieve our highest league finish since the Reid years, a player more than a few of us wanted to keep...

Busy week for Pods coming Lads and Lasses. Enjoy!
