Sunderland's promotion bid has been temporarily suspended and that means there hasn't been a lot for fans to get excited about.Former player Kenwyne Jones has come to their aid, however, by posting a throwback on social media to his days playing in the red & white stripes.The striker got his first taste of Premier League football at the Stadium of Light and did reasonably well for the Black Cats.He scored 26 goals in 94 league games while also providing 16 assists, but it was his all-round game and strength that made him such a nusiance in a struggling Sunderland side that finished 15th, 16th and 13th in his three seasons at the club.

Phil Parkinson could certainly do with a player like him now considering his three strikers have a combined total of eight league goals this term, and that has led some fans to wish they could still have Jones.

The former Trinidad & Tobago striker responded to some other fans, telling one that everyday in his career was his favourite, while also putting another supporter in his place when he posed a question about Steve Bruce.

For some it likely offered a little bit of light relief given there is no football to discuss, and perhaps also recalled the memories of Jones' fantastic somersault celebrations.
