The 28-year-old travelled to Mackemland to undergo a medical and discuss personal terms after the two clubs settled on a fee in the region of £1million on Tuesday night.
Bramble's move to the Stadium of Shite will not sit too easy with the Mackems who have already voiced several opinions on websites today, but the defender says he will go to Sunderland with something to prove ... and he knows the welcome will be mixed.
Sir Bobby Robson paid Ipswich £5million to take him to Newcastle in July 2002.
Robson always claimed the player would one day play for England, but a series of high-profile errors blighted his time at St James' Park, and the majority of Toon fans were pleased to see the back of him.
He eventually left the club for Wigan on a free transfer after his contract had expired during the summer of 2007.
