In the FA Cup’s long and illustrious history, no team has ever captured the nation’s imagination more than Bob Stokoe’s Sunderland team of 1973, a Second Division team who defied all the odds to record the most famous victory ever seen in an FA Cup final at Wembley.
Many wonderful memories are captured in this lavishly illustrated book that includes many photographs never previously published. Also included are numerous anecdotes from members of Sunderland’s 1973 FA Cup winning team, those legendary figures who together lifted English football’s most coveted prize in the most dramatic fashion imaginable to ignite a truly magical few months when the whole of Wearside was swept away on a tidal wave of euphoria the like of which has never been seen before or since.
This is a superb limited edition hardback celebration book print of which only 1,973 were produced.
