Niall Quinn is stepping down from his role at Sunderland six years after heralding a new era on Wearside.
The former Republic of Ireland international, who as chairman put together the Drumaville consortium which backed the Black Cats return to the Barclays Premier League and then persuaded American tycoon Ellis Short to take over, announced on Monday that he is to end his involvement as director of international development to concentrate on his family and business interests.
Quinn said: "I have had the most amazing six years and it gives me a huge sense of pride to see where Sunderland is today."

thanks Niall,never forgotten .
pushed by short .. he was out of his depth and short knew it. i have never forgive him for taking the shares off supporters on the cheap
Who will ever forget the best ever headed goal scored at what used to be St. James'. The taxi episode after the Cardiff game, but probably the best thing Niall did was getting MON to replace Bruce. Thanks for everything.
