MICHAEL Gray made his international debut against Hungary in April 1999 alongside club team-mate Kevin Phillips and became the first Sunderland player to play for England at Wembley for 23 years against Sweden a few months later. Wembley was the scene of Gray's play-off final penalty shoot-out miss a year earlier but he bounced back in style to help Peter Reid's men win the First Division in record-breaking fashion in 1998-99. Gray is now the longest-serving player at Sunderland and made a spectacular debut for his hometown club as a teenager, scoring a long-range effort in a home win over Barnsley. Reid switched Gray from the left side of midfield to full-back three seasons ago and his career has gone from strength to strength since. The local lad is the only player still at the club who appeared in Reid’s first game as Sunderland boss more than four years ago. The full-back has captained Sunderland this season and his services to the club are to be rewarded in the summer with a testimonial.

2 Chris Makin
	Position Right / left Back

PETER Reid paid £500,000 to Marseilles for Makin in the summer of 1997 and the Manchester-born defender has proved a bargain. Makin, who played for the same Manchester boys' club as Paul Scholes, made almost 100 appearances for Oldham before moving to France in 1996. He played for the Latics in the 1994 FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United at Wembley when a last-gasp equaliser from Mark Hughes denied Joe Royle's side a shock win. Boss Reid just missed out on Makin’s signature before the defender went to France under the Bosman ruling but finally got his man a year later. Makin’s first year at Sunderland was rocked by injury but he has bounced back to establish himself as the club's first-choice right-back. The tough-tackling full-back, who signed a contract extension at the Stadium of Light last season, was handed the captain's armband in the absence of Steve Bould and Stefen Schwarz last term.
