History of Sunderland Football Club
The history of Sunderland began when James Allen, a school teacher in Sunderland, formed a special football team teacher in the Sunderland region called "Sunderland & District Teachers Association Football Club" in October 1879. The club later changed its name to Sunderland Association Football Club, indicating that the club is now extending its membership to the public.
The goal is for the club to have enough funds and to enlarge the source of good players. A few years later, James Allen, the founder of Sunderland himself, felt that the direction of the club was too commercial and he did not agree with the way the club run. Peak, in 1888, Allen along with a number of other board members who did not feel fit out of Sunderland AFC and they formed a counter club called Sunderland Albion Football Club.
The rivalry of both clubs is becoming increasingly sharp and even lead to unhealthy competition again. By the time the two clubs happened to meet in the FA Cup of 1888-1889 season, Sunderland AFC opted to resign rather than make Albion get the money from the ticket sales. Albion is one of the founders and members of the Football Alliance league, a counter-league of the Football League.
While Sunderland AFC, the rival, entered into a member of the Football League season 1890-1891. As Sunderland AFC began to compete in the Football League, Albion then began to lack supporters and spectators. And when Sunderland AFC came out as champions Football League in the 1891-1892 season, Albion was disbanded.
SUNDERLAND COMMUNITY (1892-1936)
Sunderland really dominated English football in the early years of the birth of the league, namely in the 1891-1892 season, 1892-1893, 1894-1895. William McGregor, founder of the Football League, to dub them as the 'Full Talent Team'. Sunderland again won the league in 1913, the same year they failed in the FA Cup final after defeated Aston Villa in the final. The sixth league championship title was won in 1936. A year later, they won the FA Cup for the first time after beating Preston North End 3-1 in the final.
HISTORY OF TRANSFER PLAYERS (1949-1950)
Sunderland are the first club in history to make a transfer when they pay £ 18,000 for player-manager Carlisle United, Ivor Broadis. Then followed a record purchase of Len Shackleton and Wales player Trevor Ford. Due to the purchase of these players, Sunderland was nicknamed the club 'Bank of England'. Sunderland reached the rank of 3 leagues in 1950, its latest high ranking up to now.
FINANCIAL SCANDAL (1957-1958)
In 1957, Sunderland were punished by the league for being caught beyond the players' salary limit (at that time there were rules where clubs could not exceed a certain total amount in payroll players-such as the salary cap in the NBA now). The result was a club fined £ 5,000, a club chairman and three suspended league directors.
The punishment proved to be a major influence so that in 1958 Sunderland should be relegated for the first time after a 68-year-old cross in the first division. FA CUP 1973 Sunderland who in fact only a 2nd division club could win the FA Cup in 1973 with the overthrow of Leeds United 1-0.
In the final held at Wembley the Sunderland goalkeeper, Jimmy Montgomery, made an astonishing rescue twice. This rescue is widely referred to as the best salvation in Wembley history, and many even call it the best salvation in history. It was Ian Porterfield who scored the winning goal of Sunderland with a volley in the 30th minute. Since 1973 there have been only two other clubs that can win the FA Cup outside the first division, Southampton in 1976 and West Ham United in 1980.
PERIOD 1974-1991
In this period, Sunderland's outstanding achievement was when they entered the 1985 League Cup final where they lost in the final over Norwich City. Uniquely after their meeting in the 1985 final, they entered into an agreement that every Sunderland and Norwich City meet in any event, there is a rotating friendship trophy always held between them.
After 1985 Sunderland's achievement continued to sag, its peak in 1987 they had to be relegated to Division 3 for the first time in their history. But under new chairman and manager Bob Murray and Denis Smith, they began to rise rapidly and successive promotions until reaching the first division again in 1990. Unfortunately this time they only lasted for a season in the first division and again in the next season.
PERIOD 1992-2006
Sunderland shocked England again when they made it to the 1992 FA Cup final with the status of only the 2nd division club. But this time there was no repeat of his great history in 1973, Sunderland lost 2-0 to Liverpool. After that Sunderland appear unstable and almost terdegradasi to division 3 if only Peter Reid did not save the club.
Reid, a former England international, quickly made changes to improve Sunderland's performance. Era Peter Reid is marked by the process of stabilizing the club, he held Sunderland for 7 years and included one of the longest manager of Sunderland.
STADIUM OF LIGHT
In 1997, Sunderland completed the construction of its new stadium and parted ways with Roker Park stadium, their 99-year-old enclosure. The new cage named Stadium Of Light, a stadium with a capacity of 42,000 spectators who at that time was the largest new stadium ever built after World War II. The capacity of the stadium was then added to 49,000 spectators. In 1999, Sunderland returned promotion to the Premier League by winning the second division with a record 105 points.
The Black Cats survived until 2003 where they were embarrassingly relegated after becoming the caretaker of the league and earning only 19 points. Mick McCarthy then brought Sunderland promotion again to the Premiership in 2005, but this time worse, where they scored only 15 points, a Premiership record low before being 'solved' again by Derby County in the 2007-2008 season.
2006-NOW
When Sunderland were relegated again in 2006, Drumaville Consortium, an Irish consortium led by former Sunderland player himself, Nial Quinn, came to take over the ownership of the club. Quinn then became the new chairman of Sunderland to replace Bob Murray. During the vacancy of the manager's seat, Quinn even caught up with the club as manager but with poor results.
Roy Keane, a former Manchester United legend who has also been at odds with Quinn in Ireland, was appointed manager of the new Sunderland. While still a player at Manchester United, Ferguson once said that Roy Keane would someday be a great manager thanks to his sharp vision in football. Keane then brought Sunderland up from the bottom of the division championship (formerly division 2) to then promotion to the Premier League in his first season as manager.
2007-2008 season, Sunderland can survive in the Premiership after sitting in 15th position standings. The 2008-2009 season begins with an inconsistent Black Cats appearance that makes manager Roy Keane decide to resign. Keane was subsequently replaced temporarily by coach Ricky Sbragja, whose later status was confirmed. Although able to make Sunderland stay in Premiership Sbragja resigned and then decided just to be a club scout.
Ellis Short, an American businessman, then came to take over the shares of Drumaville Consortium with Nial Quinn remaining Sunderland chairman. To replace Sbragja brought in Steve Bruce, Wigan manager who successfully handled Latics and Birmingham before. Sunderland Official Site.
