Sunderland AFC reveal the four club legends set to be honoured in 2020

After welcoming a host of players into the hall of fame during its inaugural year, a further 11 are set to be honoured in 2020.

Kevin Phillips was announced as the first inductee earlier this week, with four more additions to the history books now confirmed.

Former Black Cats Billy Hughes, Ted Doig and David Halliday are all set to be honoured, while England international Jill Scott will become the first woman to be added to the hall of game.

The quartet, and their fellow inductees, are set to be honoured at a glittering ceremony in March – with tickets on sale now at safc.com.

Meanwhile, former Sunderland striker Josh Maja has spoken of his delight after netting a first professional hat-trick for Bordeaux.

The youngster netted the treble against Nimes, while also chipping in with an assist in the 6-0 triumph, and admitted that the feeling was difficult one to comprehend.

"It's an amazing feeling, “ he said, speaking to Canal+

“I can not really describe how I feel. I do not realise at all, but when I get home and talk to my family I'll really realise it and at that moment I will be very happy."

In an exclusive interview with the Echo, Maja revealed the truth behind his Sunderland exit earlier this year.
