Chris Maguire has become a fans’ favourite on Wearside since his summer move from Bury. The 30-year-old Scottish international is nicknamed “The King” by Sunderland fans after a string of excellent performances.
He endeared himself even more to the Black Cats faithful on Monday, when he accidentally hit a young Sunderland fan square in the face with a ball during the warm-up before their match against Peterborough United.
The Scot returned at half-time to hand the young SAFC fan a signed shirt and apologised for hurting the boy.
Sunderland fans have suffered a lot of heartache over the years but one fan manages to pick his ultimate low in the video below…
This has gone down very well on Twitter with one Sunderland fan calling Maguire a “legend” and another called it a “brilliant gesture.”
Maguire will now turn his attention to Sunderland’s promotion push with the chance of automatic now out of their hands, focus will be on getting as many points as possible and hoping that Barsnley slip up.
Even if Sunderland don’t get promoted this season, Maguire has made himself a hero for the Black Cats and gestures like these will only strengthen that feeling amongst the Stadium of Light faithful.
