Michael Gray Career
Gray had once trials with Manchester United and signed schoolboy forms, but decided against signing a contract at Old Trafford and continued playing for Fatfield Juniors F.C. in the Hetton Youth League. He played in various positions, including as a striker, left winger and left-back before fading slightly from first-team affairs. Gray was also the scorer of their first Premier League goal, scoring the seventh-minute opener in a 4–1 win over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on 21 August 1996.
Sunderland finished first in Division One the following season and won promotion to the Premiership, with Gray an ever-present for the campaign. As a First Division player, he was picked by Kevin Keegan to make his international debut for England as a substitute in the match against Hungary on 28 April 1999.
He was the last outfield player from outside of the English top-flight to appear for England until David Nugent in 2007 (goalkeeper David James played for England in 2003 whilst playing for West Ham in the First Division).
In the 2001–02 season, Sunderland battled, and with their dunk in structure came a plunge in structure for Gray, and for the following two seasons, he was always supposed to move somewhere else including to most despised adversaries Newcastle United.
Assignment sought Sunderland toward the finish of the 2002–03 season, and two games into the 2003–04 season Gray at long last left, joining Celtic on 1 September 2003, on a four-month credit. Be that as it may, having neglected to have an effect, and by and large winding up out of the group, he moved to Blackburn Rovers on a free move on 1 January 2004.
Following Sunderland’s relegation from the Premier League in 2003, Gray was fined two weeks’ wages and stripped of the captaincy by Mick McCarthy after Gray turned up to training in a new Ferrari. McCarthy viewed Gray’s actions as insensitive due to the fact a number of club staff could potentially be made redundant following relegation.

Michael Gray’s message to Sunderland star
Michael Gray sent a message of support to Sunderland midfielder Lee Cattermole – and urged him to keep his head up. Cattermole missed the Black Cats’ second penalty during their Checkatrade Trophy final defeat to Portsmouth – with the miss ultimately proving costly as Pompey lifted the silverware.
And Gray, whose missed penalty against Charlton Athletic at Wembley saw Sunderland miss out on promotion to the Premier League in 1998, has backed the 31-year-old to bounce back from his spot-kick heartache. The former full-back was co-commentating on the game for TalkSport, and it is believed he tried to make his way pitchside post-match in a bid to console Cattermole – only to be stopped by stewards.
But the ex-Sunderland star was able to send his support to the midfielder via social media as he tweeted a rousing message of encouragement to the midfielder. He tweeted: “Gutted for Lee…But any player who has the courage to step forward and take a penalty deserves credit.. keep your head up, mate..” Gray wasn’t alone in backing Cattermole, with Sunderland’s squad also quickly coming to his defense following the clash. “It’s not just Lee,” said Luke O’Nien.
“However it went, we take it collectively. We’re all disappointed but there’s a quick turnover now. “He’s one of the reasons why we’re so high up in the league and doing well. “He was very brave to step up and take a pen, so credit to him. “He was the one that missed but someone’s got to miss and today it was our turn.”
