Arriving for a then-club-record fee, Bent was an instant sensation as he netted 24 Premier League goals in his debut 2009/10 campaign, a tally that accounted for nearly half of Sunderland's entire goal output that season, and he was named the club's Player of the Year.
Although leaving the club mid-season for Aston Villa in 2011 for £24m left a bitter taste for many, his sheer goalscoring rate, which included 36 goals and 5 assists in 63 total appearances for Sunderland, made Bent one of the club's all-time best signings.
