ROLL OF
HONOUR
Today's game is in honour
of the team of '73 who
famously won the FA Cup
in sensational fashion.
We also introduce the
signings Sunderland have
made so far this summer as
Roy Keane's side gear up to
try and establish themselves
in the Barclays Premier
League having succeeded
in establishing a foothold
in the top flight last year
following the Championship
success of 2007.
SAFC has great pleasure
in welcoming our old
friends from Ajax who
forever have a place in
Sunderland's history having
been the first ever visitors
to the Stadium of Light.

With the changing names of the leagues
in 1992 and 2004 we refer to the levels
of the Football League by their current
names, for example Sunderland won
the equivalent of what is now 'The
Championship' in 1976 when back then
it was called The Second Division.
