More info on the Sunderland AFC Newspaper Book
Sunderland AFC was once known as Sunderland Teachers Association Football Club and joined the English football league for the 1890-91 season. Sunderland was the first club to join the football league once it had started and replaced Stoke City. This Sunderland AFC commemorative book takes the Sunderland fan through all the highs and lows of following this mighty club of the north east. Our Sunderland AFC history book adds up to be a great piece of football reading full of action and behind the scene intrigue.
The first game covered will warm the heart of a true fan as their rivals, Newcastle United are vanquished 3:1 in 1905. An interesting report from 1912 captures one of the local heroes, Charlie Buchan, scoring 5 goals in a game against Liverpool and the loss in the FA Cup final of 1913 to Aston Villa receives the football book history treatment.
1937 a key year with an FA Cup victory receives two pages of coverage and also included are highlights from the semi-final win over Millwall. And of course the 1973 FA Cup win is fully reported with behind the scenes stories and the goal mouth action of tactics of a great team. A must have treasure trove of facts for the Sunderland fan who want to add to their collection of Sunderland souvenirs.
The 1997 opening of the Stadium of Light and the friendly against Ajax is also reported fully and so are various signings like Marcus Stewart and Tore Andre Flo in 2002. New managers are interviewed and the sad demise of Bobby Stokes in 2004 is handled with care and consideration. This is a true evocative history and wonderfully frank piece of Sunderland AFC memorabilia.
The winning of the Championship in 2005 is also given the full treatment in our personalised Sunderland history book.
