David Moyes must sign another striker to help Jermain Defoe if Sunderland are to remain in the Premier League, according to Niall Quinn. Sunderland appointed Moyes on a four-year deal on Saturday after Sam Allardyce was confirmed as the new England manager.Former Sunderland striker Quinn, who was chairman of the club between 2006 and 2011, believes Moyes first task at the Stadium of Light is to find support for Defoe. Relying on Jermain Defoe to keep Sunderland in the league or indeed push up the league, I dont think they can go through the year with just that, Quinn told Sky Sports News HQ.I think it would be encouraging if Sunderland were to sign another proven goalscorer. Former Everton and Manchester United boss David Moyes was named as the new Sunderland manager on Saturday Defoe, 33, scored 15 league goals in 32 games last season as Sunderland finished two points above relegation in 17th.Quinn thinks there are a number of areas in the Black Cats side that Moyes will need to strengthen, but suggested the clubs best spells in recent years all came with proven goalscorers. Sunderland must adapt to Moyes Vito Mannone says Sunderland must adapt to David Moyes style of football as quickly as possible He added: There are one or two players, the likes of John OShea, who is a great captain, a great leader, will he be available for so many games? Is there room for a defender there?Another midfielder: (Sebastian) Larsson, (Lee) Cattermole have been asked to do an awful lot over the years. At the same time it boils down, and I can remember this from when I first came into the job as chairman there, if you get someone to score goals at that club youre halfway there.Steve Bruce had all the best times when I was there. We had a goalscorer, (Darren) Bent, who was scoring goals for fun. Defoe did it last year in difficult circumstances so I suppose top of his priorities will be to assist Jermain and find a top goalscorer. Moyes oversaw a victory in his first game in charge on Monday as Sunderland beat Stade Nyonnais 2-0 in a friendly.The former Everton boss led the Goodison Park side to eight top-half Premier League finishes in his 10 full seasons at the club, and Quinn says his appointment should help provide consistency. This has been a great signing, Quinn said. We know Sam had to go, it was a difficult time for the club, everybody was in a bit of despair but now its good. Lee Cattermole (centre) may need help in midfield, according to Niall Quinn He can really take it on from where Sam had it. He signed a four-year deal which is really good news, that smacks of stability, which we havent been able to say about Sunderland for quite some time.I believe what he possesses and his desire to get back as being renowned as a top manager - I think the mix is really good.

PHILADELPHIA -- Allen Iverson cupped his hand to his left ear and asked to hear his favourite tune one more time. With that command, 20,000 roaring Philadelphia 76ers fans gave AI the standing ovation he earned by stamping himself as one of the franchises all-time greats. Iverson, emotional as he thanked former teammates and friends, had his No. 3 retired at halftime of Saturdays game against Washington. High above the Wells Fargo Center court, Iversons banner slipped between Maurice Cheeks No. 10 and Charles Barkleys No. 34. "They all wanted me to talk about how much yall loved me," Iverson said, "but trust me, the feeling was mutual." Iverson officially retired in October after last playing in 2010. He won four scoring titles for the Sixers and was the 2001 MVP when he led them to the NBA Finals. He never won a championship, the lone omission in a career that is destined for the Hall of Fame. The Sixers may as well have turned the arena into an AI museum. Four banners greeted fans at the main concourse entrance, and photos of him were plastered all around the arena. The merchandise stands sold Iverson jerseys for $130, and lower level tickets were going for as much for $1,280 on Stubhub about an hour before the 7:30 p.m. tipoff. The fans loved him, and he blew them kisses after the No. 3 was raised to show how much he loved them back. "I am Philly," Iverson said. "Its always going to be that way." Iversons return injected a rare dose of excitement into a franchise playing some of the worst basketball in the league. The Sixers, in full-blown rebuilding mode, had lost 12 straight entering Saturdays game. The losing didnt matter much Saturday, just the memories. The Sixers wore special "Iverson Forever" patches on their jerseys and Iversons 3 on their pregame warmup shirts. "Its a great example of how this city responds to somebody that they clearly think the world of and brought such exciting times to the city of Philadelphia," Sixers coach Brett Brown said. The Sixers retirement gift was a boat named in honour of his nickname, "The Answer." "It feels good," Iverson said after the ceremony, "but some part of my heart hurts because I know its over." Iverson joined Cheeks, Barkley, Wilt Chamberlain and Julius Erving among the eight retired numbers in franchise history. Erving attended thhe ceremony.dddddddddddd Moses Malone, Dikembe Mutombo, Theo Ratliff, Gary Payton and former team president Pat Croce also were at the celebration. Former coach Larry Brown, who both clashed with and loved Iverson over their tenure, sent a videotaped message. "I just want to tell you, and I say this fondly: God put me there to coach you," Brown said. Iverson said Brown was the player who moulded him into one of the NBAs best. "I always had raw talent," he said. "I needed Larry Brown to polish it up." Iverson was the No. 1 overall pick in the 1996 draft and spent his first 10 seasons in Philadelphia. He also played for Denver, Detroit, and Memphis before returning to Philadelphia for a 25-game stint in 2009-10. Iverson, who mashed hip-hop culture and hoops like no player before him, was perhaps at his peak in his fifth NBA season. The 165-pound guard averaged 31.1 points, was the MVP of the All-Star game and propped an entire franchise on his 6-foot frame all the way to the finals. Led by Brown, the Sixers needed Game 7 wins in consecutive series for the right to play the Lakers. Shaquille ONeal, Kobe Bryant and the Lakers swept their way through the post-season before Game 1 in Los Angeles. Iverson had 48 points in 52 minutes of an overtime victory. The Sixers didnt have enough to go the distance and the Lakers won the next four games. Hes 21st on the NBAs career scoring list with 24,368 points over 914 career games. Iverson, drafted out of Georgetown, scored 30-plus points 345 times and was an 11-time All-Star. His No. 3 jersey was a bestseller around the globe, the headband wrapped snugly around his cornrows, and the tattoos were as much a part of his image as the way he ricochets around the court. Play every game like it was his last was more than a catchphrase, it was a lifestyle. "Who could not be an Allen Iverson fan?" said Thaddeus Young, the lone current Sixers player who played with Iverson. "It got no bigger than him in Philadelphia." NBA Commissioner Adam Silver was at the game for AIs night. "Allen was a special player," Silver said before the game. "The great things he did for the league far outweigh the occasional headache. I always thought even at the time of Allen Iversons prominence in the league, he was representative of his generation." ' ' ' ' '
