Sunderland announce signing of the greatest name in football with the perfect Simpsons reference

Max Power Sunderland

Strap yourself in and feel the G’s, Sunderland fans.

For you now have the best name in football lining out for you on a weekly basis.

No, not Danny Invincibile.

No, not Wolfgang Wolf.

No, not even Christ Bongo.

That’s right, Sunderland have officially put pen to paper for the signature of…

MAX POWER

Drink it in.

And credit to the Sunderland social media team for announcing it in the best way possible:

That’s right, Max McAuley Power will now play his trade at the Stadium of Light as Sunderland get to grips with football in League One.

The 25-year-old has previously played for Tranmere Rovers and Wigan Athletic, where you can see him in action below, confirming that he doesn’t actually look like Homer Simpson:

“This is clearly the biggest club in League One,” said Power.

Showing the kind of moxy you’d want from a man with his moniker, he went on to note that he’s up for the added pressure of everyone wanting to beat his new team every week.

“I think pressure as a footballer is a good thing, we should thrive off it,” stated Power.

No word on what his attitude towards snuggling is, but you’d imagine it’s fairly high octane stuff.
