SB Meets | Steven Fletcher - Football News

We caught up with Sunderland striker Steven Fletcher this week to talk teammates, footballing idols and how he’s finding his Umbro Geometra 2 boots after signing with the brand in the summer.

Fletcher, who finished the 2012/13 season as Sunderland’s leading goal scorer chats about his modifications and personalisation on his boots as well as discussing Sunderland’s biggest character by saying “He’s not very good at english, he’s just shouting things in Italian and no one understands him, you just laugh!”

Back from injury and looking to steer the Black Cats away from relegation the Scotland international tells us about the frustrations of being injured, why his footballing idols are Michael Owen, Robbie Fowler and Henrik Larsson and whether he’s Team Barca or Team Real Madrid.

Fletcher joins the likes of Andy Carroll and Joe Hart as Umbro players in the Premier League. A famous number 9 wearing Umbro boots was often on the scoresheet in Tyne-Wear derbies but this weekend Sunderland fans will be hoping that player will be in red and white stripes.



Do you think Fletcher can help Sunderland stay up this season and who else would you like to see join Umbro's ranks? Join the conversation online, on Twitter and on Facebook.
