About Sunderland A.F.C.
Sunderland A.F.C. Crest
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Based in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, England, Sunderland A.F.C. currently play in the Premier League.
Bolton FC Info
Bolton Wanderers FC Crest
Bolton FC has a long tradition in English football that dates back 135 years. The club was founded in 1874 by Reverend Jon Farrall Wright as Christ Church FC. Three years later however, the club was renamed as Bolton Wanderers FC. The name Wanderers came from the team’s lack of a home field in their early days. It was not until 1881 that Bolton settled at one home ground. Prior to this date they played their home games on several different pitches.
Bolton FC Manager
On October 25, 2007 Bolton FC introduced Gary Megson as their new manager. Megson was tasked with keeping the Wanderers in the top flight, a standing that had become precarious in the past few seasons. Megson was a defensive midfielder in his playing days, bouncing between 9 different teams in his 18 year career. His managerial career has spanned 17 years and 7 clubs. Megson’s most successful stint prior to Bolton was with West Bromwich Albion where he twice led them to promotion into the Premier League.
Bolton Wanderers Stadium
Bolton FC spent the better part of their early existence “wandering” from pitch to pitch for home games, lacking a true ground to call their own. In 1881 the team found a suitable ground, but remained there for only 14 years. From 1895 until the early 1990s they made their home at Burnden Park. In the early 90s, with Premier League ambitions and a deteriorating stadium, the decision was made to build a new park. Construction on Reebok Stadium began in 1995 and was completed in time for the 1997-98 season. Reebok Stadium seats 28,723 and was named after the club’s longtime sponsor. The decision to give the stadium a corporate name angered many of the fans who saw it as further proof that finances and not football were becoming more important in England. Fans have since warmed up to the stadium name, due in part to Reebok having its roots in the area.
The Wanderers hold a unique spot in English football history as they are one of the founding members of the Football League in 1888. In the early decades of the Football League, the Wanderers were up and down between the first and second tier of the league. The 1920s ushered in a long era of prosperity for the Wanderers as they won the FA Cup three times during the decade, in 1923, 1926, and 1929. Building off their cup triumphs in the 20s, Bolton began a 29 year run in which they never fell from the top flight of English football, lasting from 1935-1964.
The club peaked in the 1950s, when they won the FA Cup for a fourth time in 1958. That was the last time Bolton brought home a major trophy, and from that point the club began a slow decline that saw them exit the top flight. The Wanderers bottomed out in 1987 when they were relegated to the fourth division of English football for the first time in club history. Since that point however, Bolton FC has been on a trek back to the top of football, something they achieved in 1995.
Bolton Wanderers begin quest for first major trophy in 51 years. On August 15 Bolton Wanderers Football Club will start off the new Barclay’s Premier League season by hosting Sunderland AFC at Reebok Stadium. The Wanderers’ will be looking to erase a 51 year drought that has seen them fail to bring home any major trophy. A member of the Premier League since 2001, Bolton will be trying to cement their position in the Premier League and improve upon their standing from the past two seasons.
