On the 7th December 1935, Sunderland went top of the First Division
and so at the start of a two year period that would bring them
unprecedented success. The highs and lows of the league campaign
are recalled in detail. Included in the book are the tragic death
of goalkeeper Jimmy Thorpe after a match at Chelsea. Thorpe's
grief-stricken teammates went on to play their hearts out,
eventually hammering Birmingham City 7-2 at St Andrews to capture
the league title. In 1936-7, Sunderland went on to lift the FA Cup
at Wembley for the first time in the club's history by beating
Preston North End. The Wearsiders also claimed the Charity Shield,
bringing more silverware to Roker Park Bill Shankley, who played
for Preston in that final remarked: "In many ways the Sunderland
team of 1937 played the same brand of Total Football as the great
Holland team of the 1970's.
