Sunderland – 1986–87 Season:
This was a turbulent year for Sunderland, as they competed in the Second Division but struggled throughout the campaign. Despite efforts to stabilize, the team finished 20th and were relegated to the Third Division for the first time in their history. The season was marked by inconsistency, managerial changes, and a lack of firepower up front, which ultimately led to their historic drop.
Sunderland – 1987–88 Season:
In response to relegation, Sunderland regrouped in the Third Division with renewed determination. Under manager Denis Smith, the team showed resilience and quality, finishing 3rd and earning promotion back to the Second Division via the playoffs. The campaign was defined by strong home form and standout performances from players like Marco Gabbiadini, who became a fan favorite.
