Sunderland A.F.C. Short Summary

Based in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, England, Sunderland A.F.C. currently play in the Premier League.

Sunderland have won 6 First Division Titles, and joined the Football League in 1890.

The squad won the FA Cup in 1937, and remained in the top flight of club football until 1958. Sunderland won their second FA Cup in 1973, led by the legendary Ian Porterfield. Sunderland has a historic rivalry with Newcastle United, and continues to be a worthy competitor in club football today.

Sunderland A.F.C. Stadium

Sunderland’s home ground is located at the Stadium of Light. This all-seater football facility hosts 49,000 spectators, and has the fifth-largest capacity of any English football venue. The full grass pitch has also hosted the English National Team, as well as one England under-20 football match. The stadium opened its doors in 1997, and ‘The Black Cats’ have made it their home ever since. The multi-purpose stadium also has conference and banqueting suites, and even held two concerts earlier this year.

Sunderland have played memorable matches over the years against the likes of Aston Villa, Manchester United, and interclub matches and friendlies. The team is also known as The Mackems, and the "Team of All Talents", a name given to them by club founder, William McGregor. From Johnny Campbell to Dave Halliday, who holds an all-time Sunderland record for most goals in a single season, Sunderland have produced some impressive players over the years.

Sunderland faced financial hardships in the late ’50’s-early ’60’s, but managed to rejoin Division 1 towards the end of the decade. This promotion did not last long, as they faced relegation to the Second Division shortly after. The early ’70’s saw a rejuvenated Sunderland pick up some historic victories. In addition to winning the FA Cup in ‘73, Sunderland became 1 of 3 teams since ‘73, to win the cup outside of the top flight of English club football. Jimmy Montgomery, Sunderland goal keeper, led the team to victory against Leeds United, thanks to his double saves in the net. The club would then qualify for the UEFA Cup Winners Cup, the first and last time to date.

The ’80’s and ’90’s would see Sunderland face mediocre results and further relegation. The club also faced losses to Norwich City, and scrambled in the Third Division to get back to top tier club football. The 1990’s would see the club bounce back into the top flight, but were relegated back down to Second Division as the season ended. Sunderland managed to make it to the FA Cup Finals in ‘92, they gave it a valiant effort, but lost to Liverpool 2-0. The team went on to possibly face relegation again in ‘95, but things picked up for them as new manager, Peter Reid, entered the fray.

Sunderland returned to the Premier League in 1999, but faced relegation in the years ahead. Mick McCarthy, the former Ireland manager, took charge of the team in 2005, and led them to a 3rd championship in under a decade. The club’s momentum at the top was short lived, as McCarthy left the club, and Sunderland once again dropped in the rankings. Kevin Ball, the former Sunderland player, took control of the team but not much happened for Sunderland, promotion wise.

Sunderland A.F.C. Manager

Earlier in 2009, Steve Bruce assumed managerial duties for Sunderland. He picked up where Ricky Sbragia left off, and brings a wealth of experience to The Black Cats. From Wigan Athletic and Sheffield United to Crystal Palace and Birmingham City, Bruce has managed some of the finest English clubs in existence. The British national had a sensational playing career, as he dominated the Center Back position with clubs like Manchester United and Norwich City. Known for his heart and determination, Steve was a physical player on the pitch, and had an unusually high goal scoring rate for a central defender.

Today, Sunderland have made it back into the Premiership, and are led by Albanian sensation, Captain Lorik Cana. Cana picks up where former Manchester United superstar Roy Keane left off. With Steve Bruce as manager, they hope to win championships, rekindle their previous impressive undefeated streak, and quickly rise back to prominence within the League. The current season will have Sunderland taking on the best of the best, and only time will tell if the squad will be champions again.
