Sunderland A.F.C. Brief Summary
Sunderland A.F.C. Crest
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 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.
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 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 have won 6 First Division Titles, and joined the Football League in 1890.
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 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.
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.
Based in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, England, Sunderland A.F.C. currently play in the Premier League.
Fulham FC Facts & Info
Fulham F.C. Crest
They are also known as the Cottagers after their stadium, Craven Cottage.
The Fulham team is the oldest professional football team in the British capital, and presently play in the English Premier League, finishing in 7th place in the ’08-’09 season.
Craven Cottage – Fulham FC Stadium
Fulham FC makes its home at the stadium known as Craven Cottage, one of the oldest English football grounds still in use in the present day. The original building was constructed in 1780 by the nobleman William Craven to serve as a residence and a hunting lodge. The building was lived in by a number of people over its lifetime, which was brought to a close by a fire in 1888. It was left abandoned after it burned, and was not used again for any purpose until Fulham’s early members scouted it out while searching for space in 1894. After two years of work clearing out overgrowth and re-purposing the site, it was made a viable football ground in 1896. A series of renovations and additions lead eventually to the modern incarnation of the field, a still small but well-maintained ground with segmented seating areas arranged in rectangle formation around the pitch. Craven Cottage holds 25,678 at top capacity.
Fulham F.C. Manager
Fulham’s current manager is Roy Hodgson, known for leading the Swiss national team to qualify in the 1994 world cup and 1996 European cup, and has previously coached such noteworthy teams as FC Copenhagen, Blackburn Rovers and Inter Milan. Hodgson became Fulham’s manager in December of 2007, and although the team absorbed a number of losses in the initial few months of his tenure a late rally toward the end of the season saw the club escape relegation, and go on to higher standing in the 08-09 season than they had ever previously achieved.
Fulham’s home colours are white and black, and the team crest is a simple black and white shield containing the angular abbreviation FFC.
The 1997-98 season was the beginning of a new start for Fulham, and the team steadily gained momentum until at last breaking into the elite ranks of the Premier League in the 2001-02 season, where it has remained since, and seeing its greatest success in the club’s history by finishing close to the top of the Premiership table in ’08-’09.
The club was founded as an amateur team in 1879 by members of the congregation of the Church of England on Star Road in West Kensington.
The Cottagers fared poorly in their first stint in the top flight, and their third season saw them in last and relegated back to second division, where they remained until promotion saw their most successful season yet, finishing 10th in the first division in 1959-60. The next few decades saw ups and downs, including a stint down in third division a few years later and then again in the early seasons after the creation of the new Premier League, which marked their lowpoint.
After success in the Southern League the team was admitted into the larger Football League in 1907, where they remained and enjoyed success until 1949, saw them promoted to first division, the top flight of English football at the time.
The team won a number of amateur trophies in its early days, including the West London Amateur Cup in 1887. Fulham FC turned professional shortly thereafter, joining the second division of the old Southern League in 1898.
Fulham FC is an English football club based in the borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in southwest London.
