Steve Bruce’s first season in charge of the Black Cats may prove one of his toughest yet in management. Having narrowly avoided relegation last year, Sunderland are the only representative of the North East playing top flight football as local rivals Newcastle and Middlesbrough both went down to the Championship. The squad now assembled at the Stadium of Light has given rise to expectations of better things to come.

Bruce has sought to deepen the experience available to him by adding several players to the squad. Midfielder Lee Cattermole returned to his native North East, following Bruce from Wigan Athletic. Frazier Campbell was Bruce’s first signing as manager arriving from Manchester United despite the attempts of several Premier League clubs to secure his services. England international Darren Bent will join Campbell up front as he became Sunderland’s record signing after moving north from Spurs. With Lorik Cana also making the move from France to England and Paraguayan captain Paulo Da Silva switching the heat of Mexico for the brisk Wearside Autumn, a team that can also boast the likes of Kieran Richardson, David Healey, Kenwyne Jones and Steed Malbranque has every right to expect to be mid-table at worst. Sunderland could look to progress to challenge for a place in the top half of the Premier League this year.

One of the oldest football clubs in English football, Sunderland were formed back in 1879 by a Glaswegian schoolteacher named James Allan. They were the first club to be elected into the Football League following the league‘s formation.

In all, the club has won six league titles, with the last coming in 1935-36 season. Sunderland won the FA Cup the next year with an impressive 3-1 victory over Preston North End. The period after WWII saw Sunderland decline, with the club getting relegated to the second division for the first time in its history. However the club slowly turned things around, winning promotion to the first division in 1964, but was once again relegated six seasons later. Sunderland then became the only team to win the FA Cup from outside the top division beating Leeds United 1-0 in the 1973 final. They also reached the 185 Milk (League) Cup final only to lose to Norwich City.

The next few years saw the club gain promotion (in 1976) get relegated the next year and again get promoted in 1980. The club came close to winning its first League Cup in 1985, but lost out 1-0 to Norwich City in the final.

Since then, Sunderland’s history has seen relegations, promotions, and another FA Cup final appearance in 1992 where Liverpool proved too strong coming out on top by two goals to nil.

In 1997, Sunderland left Roker Park, their home for almost a century, and moved to the newly built Stadium of Light. The 42,000-seater stadium was the biggest stadium ever built in England since WWII and large attendances saw Sunderland reach the Premier League, suffer relegation, and rise again to the top flight. With new owners and a passionate chairman in Niall Quinn, fans will hope for some stability over the coming decade, preferably in the Premier League.
