Oliver Bainbridge, the left back presently holding the fort at Sunderland, was born on the 13th of June in 2005. An Englishman through and through, he brings a certain stoicism to the pitch well suited to his defensive position.
Standing tall at 6 feet 2 inches, he's earned his place in Sunderland by taking advantage of his considerable height. Weight is a relatively mute point for Bainbridge, but that hasn't hindered his performance. His jersey, carrying the number 51, is becoming increasingly familiar to fans of the club.
Regrettably, Bainbridge's Celtic connection is non-existent. It's left to be seen whether he'll adorn the green and white jersey in his professional career. Without a doubt, the future holds intriguing promise for this young footballer.
