"I played in his first match back, a 0-0 draw at home to Bolton. In hindsight I shouldn't have played, as I was still a week away from full fitness, but of course nobody wanted to miss the first game of what we all hoped would be a new era. Even though Kev was my boyhood hero, we never really saw eye-to-eye."
"With game time limited and fitness issues still plaguing him, the Newcastle striker departed for Stoke in the Championship for the last part of their successful 2007/08 promotion season. In signing a short-term loan deal, Ameobi hoped he could rediscover his form - unfortunately, he failed to score in just six games."
"I liked my stint with Stoke but only managed half a dozen games due to hamstring issues, so a permanent move was never on. A lot of fans claimed it was because Stoke played in Sunderland's colours, but it was all down to fitness."
