"But what has lived on that day is not the Dutchman's performance in the win, but his celebration following Gyan's goal, as Zenden unleashed a bona fide 'dad dance' next to the fleet-footed Ghanaian."
"But seriously, it's better to be remembered than forgotten. It wasn't meant to be anything impressive - more a reaction to a quite incredible performance and result. It was the first time Chelsea had been beaten at home in the league that season and, that day, it was us who played like the reigning champions."
Bolo Zenden, a former Netherlands midfielder with an accomplished career including league titles with PSV and Barcelona, a Champions League final appearance with Liverpool, and 54 international caps, joined Sunderland in 2009 at age 33 to finish his playing career in England. During his two-year spell at the club, one of his most enduring moments occurred in November 2010 when Sunderland defeated Premier League leaders Chelsea 3-0 at Stamford Bridge. Rather than his on-field performance, what became memorable was Zenden's exuberant celebration following Asamoah Gyan's goal, featuring an uninhibited 'dad dance' that captured fans' attention and has remained a defining memory from his time at the club.
