'Signing for Newcastle United was a big moment for me, but my time with Sunderland was probably one of the most important chapters of my life': DeAndre Yedlin was born in the USA but made in the North East of England

DeAndre Yedlin is part of a lengthy list of players who have crossed the Tyne-Wear divide and played for both Sunderland and Newcastle. From Len Shackleton to Louis Saha, almost 70 players have represented both clubs. If you refine the list to players who played back-to-back for each club, Yedlin counts as one among Paul Bracewell, Lee Clark, Steve Cauldwell, Jack Colback, Robbie Elliott and more in the eclectic roll-call.
