We've found these 'Where Are They Now' pieces to be quite the eye-opener in showing Sunderland's vast improvement over the last year or two. With that in mind, let's look at our starting XI for the EFL Trophy win over Tranmere.
LEE BURGE
The Hereford-born goalkeeper kept a clean sheet in the final to win him his second EFL Trophy of his career. Burge would spend one more season with the Black Cats before departing for League Two Northampton. He has since gone on to earn a third-placed promotion with the Cobblers, helping them with 12 clean sheets along the way.
