Jack Rodwell: Sunderland midfielder has gone a massive 1,241 days without starting in a Premier League win
The last time Rodwell started in a victory he was still a year from leaving Manchester City
JACK RODWELL is a bad luck charm.
The Sunderland midfielder, 25, last started in a game that led to a win more than THREE YEARS ago - a year before he moved to the Stadium of Light.
Incredibly, Rodwell last started in a victory in May 2013, while he was still at Manchester City.
That game, a 1-0 win against West Brom, came a full year before he moved to Sunderland in a £10million deal.
Once tipped to be a future England captain, Rodwell's career has stalled, with the midfielder blighted by injury and lack of form.
He won the last of his three caps in June 2013 but has not been called up to the senior squad since.
