The Team of All the Talents Sunderland AFC was founded in 1879. In 11 years it was a member of the English League. It went on to have an unbroken run in Division One up to 1958. It has been in four FA Cup Finals winning the competition twice, once in 1937 and again in 1973. It has seen good years and bad years in its time and is the sixth most successful English club of all time but the very best years were in the 1890s when it was the team to beat. The team was put together by Tom Watson, nicknamed the Team of All the Talents, packed with Scottish players; it was famed for its goals, often scored by the great Johnny Campbell who scored 83 goals in 81 games. When the side won their first League championship in 1892 there was only one Englishman in the squad. During Watson’s time in charge, 1889 to 1896, the Team of All Talents remained unbeaten in a single League home match from September 1891 to 1894 and then enjoyed another run of 37 home games without defeat. In 1893 it was the first team to score100 league goals. They won the League title three times: 1892, 1893 and 1895.
