Peter Reid believes the front four of Kevin Phillips, Niall Quinn, Daniele Dichio and Michael Bridges had a similar impact on Sunderland's season to Manchester United. The front four of Teddy Sheringham, Andy Cole, Dwight Yorke and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would go down in history as one of the most feared front lines the Premier League has ever seen.
Although Reid does not claim that the Black Cats strikers were on par with the Manchester United quartet, he believes the Wearsiders were at their best when all four were at the club. The former Sunderland boss was also full of praise for Phillips, who remains the last Englishman to win the European golden boot.
Speaking to Kammy and Ben's Proper Football Podcast, Reid said: "Unbelievable isn't it. Incredible. You know when you're playing against a team - I was at Sunderland and we played Watford. I think we drew 1-1 and it was a night game.
