Completely random SAFC stats

That's a belter of a stat.

I'm slightly sceptical. Neither statto.com nor statcat has us as 8th, 18th or 22nd. Nice try though.

Ian Holloway opposed us in both of our first two third division matches, transferring from Brentford to Bristol Rovers in midweek.

He also fell into a bucket of tits and came out sucking his thumb

 

[Kevin Arnott's right boot]

Sunderland's first ever 'home' League game against Middlesbrough was actually played at St James' Park

 

[rentaghost]

Mark Outterside has a unique record of scoring on average one own goal in every single game that he played for Sunderland.

Cameron Duncan played one league game in goal for Sunderland, kept a clean sheet and saved a penalty yet never got another league start.

We drew 1-1

We drew 1-1

Thought it was 0-0

Should check facts first!!

I was there by the way.

Involved in a match which saw the greatest number of supporters never to actually see a game. The Good Friday match between the Mags and us at Sid James in early 1900s was abandoned because of the huge number of fans, some estimated 120000. That a riot erupted at the decision was a more usual occurrence.

OK I am changing mine to which Sunderland goalkeeper saved a penalty in every league match he ever played?

We are almost certainly the only team in football league history to play a single home league match over three halves.

Not checked this one either but confident.

Yeah, pretty sure that happened. Derby wasn't it? We won 8-0 after the game restarted when the ref turned up late. The original game was 3-0 at half time.

If another team's lost its first 4 matches and then won the championship of its division I will eat my hat.

 

[Kevin Arnott's right boot]

We had 2 points after 7 games in 1912-13, but went on to win the title with a then record number of points, and reached the Cup Final too

 

[TwasOnTheFifthOfMay]

We have never been out of the top flight for longer than 6 years, which Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, Man Utd, Man City, Mags and Villa can't match.

That's a good stat.

 

[Steak Pie]

The distance between the centre spot at the Stadium Of Light and the old centre spot at Roker Park is 1131 metres.

Nice one.

How about the only team to play a home and away game under the same set of floodlights

Did we sell our old lights to South Shields or someone nearby, then play them in a friendly?

One of only 2 teams relegated to old Div.3 via play offs.

 

[Hair Flick]

Was told once that we are the most recent team to win the title playing in stripes. Not sure if true, though.

That is a truly scary stat

 

[joemcdokes]

Keith Bertschin scored the first and last goal in the 1987-1988 season.

 

[miltonunez9]

I came up with Montgomery, Prudhoe, McDonagh, Carter, Coton, Marriott and Myhre

Ike Webb played 22 games for us 1904-07 understudy at Small Heath to......Henry Clutterbuck HaHa!

 

[Wet Wesley]

First team to score 100 goals in a league season.
