Stewart: No Regrets
"I wanted to get back into the Premiership and Sunderland offered me that. I also like to think that I helped Ipswich out financially as well as they needed to sell players back then."
Stewart is very much looking forward to tonights clash, and feels that there are many similarities between the two sides: "There is no doubt about it, there are definitely similarities between the side we have at Sunderland now and the one I was involved in at Ipswich when we were promoted to the Premiership.
"They are both footballing sides and the longer we're together the more we are matching that Ipswich side in terms of teamwork and the ability to know what other players are going to do because of the understanding between us.
"Both also have the right blend of youth and experience, although the team here at Sunderland is probably younger. I loved playing in that Ipswich team and I'm enjoying playing in this one."
"My confidence is high, as high as it was when I was scoring all those goals at Ipswich. I have very happy memories of my time there, it was a fantastic team, we all knew each other's games and we worked hard together. I've scored four goals in seven league games this season and I've created a few as well."
