[edit] Sunderland History
Carlos Edwards signed for sunderland in January 2007 by Roy Keane from Luton town to help sunderlands battle for promotion in the 2006/2007 season. Carlos Edwards had previously played in the 2006 world cup, where he gained a man of the match award against Sweeden. Carlos played and scored five goals including the wonder goal in the 3-2 victory over burnley, which sealed sunderland's promotion. The next season, the 2007/2008 season things went wrong and Carlos found his season plagued by injury.
He returned from injury in March 2008, and since then he failed to regain he promising form he shown in the season previously. Edwards overall failed to make the impact in the top flight that many sunderland fans hoped, and moved onto Ipswich Town at the beginning of the 2009/2010 season.
