Graham had no doubts over Sunderland move despite Newcastle history

Danny Graham has insisted the boo boys never made him think twice about his move to Sunderland, reports The Independent. The 27-year-old was jeered by sections of the home support when he came on as a second-half substitute in Swansea's 0-0 Premier League draw at the Stadium of Light on January 29.

. The Newcastle supporting striker told the Sunderland Echo: "The reception was great at Reading.

"Obviously the one on Tuesday night was expected for myself. That's part and parcel of football, I just got on with it. But it never once put me off in terms of wanting to move here.

"The contrast with the reception I got at the Madejski Stadium was brilliant. I had signed and everything was done, and to get that reception was really pleasing.

"I'm just looking forward to having a successful end of the season."
