Bob Kyle’s mid-1920s Sunderland team were rightly considered one of the strongest in English football, consistently finishing in the top three, but never quite replicating the glory of the 1912-13, when a youthful Charlie Buchan fired them to the League title.
It may have been the mid-point of part of a barren two decades for the club in terms of trophies, but such had been the excitement on both Wearside and Merseyside at the prospect of two of the country’s most famous names fighting it out in the FA Cup Second Round Proper Replay that over 45,000 spectators had packed into Roker Park for a 0-0 draw at the end of January, and then around 50,000 watched on at Goodison as the Toffees progressed with a narrow 2-1 victory on 4th February.
