Sunderland Association Football Club are a professional football club based in Sunderland, North East England. They were formed in 1879 as Sunderland & District Teachers Association Football Club. They changed their name to the current form in 1880 and turned professional in 1886. They were elected into The Football League in the 1890–91 season, becoming the first team to join the league since its inauguration in the 1889–90 season, replacing Stoke F.C..
All figures are correct as at 3 September 2008.
Transfers
Sunderland have never been a very rich club, especially when compared to other clubs in the top flight, including arch rivals Newcastle. In 1996, when Newcastle broke the world transfer record to buy Alan Shearer from Blackburn Rovers for £15 million, Sunderland could only dream of such riches. Even now, as I am typing these words, Sunderland's record transfer fee paid stands at £13 million paid for Asamoah Gyan in the summer of 2010. Newcasgtle's is currently £17 million for Michael Owen from Real Madrid in the summer of 2006.
Sunderland's earliest notable transfer of recent times is the £6.75 million paid to Rangers for Tore Andre Flo on 30 August in 2002. Flo was signed on the same day as Marcus Stewart, for whom Sunderland paid £3.25 million to Ipswich Town. The £10 million spent on that day was a Sunderland record for amount of money spent on one day. After this, Sunderland wallowed in debt for several years before being taken over by the Drumaville Consortium in the summer of 2006. In the summer of 2007, with the debts cleared, the consortium allowed amanger Roy Keane to splash the cash, and he broke Sunderland's transfer record by signing goalkeeper Craig Gordon from Heart of Midlothian for £9 million. The record was next broken in the summer of 2009, when manager Steve Bruce spent £10 million bringing Darren Bent to Sunderland from Tottenham Hotspur. Bruce again broke the record in the summer of 2010, signing Gyan for £13 million from Rennes. Here is a list of some of Sunderland's biggest buys.
The record biggest transfer fee that Sunderland have received is £24 million for Darren Bent from Aston Villa. This was an Aston Villa club record transfer fee paid. This is closely followed by the 2nd biggest transfer fee received, which is £20 million for Jordan Henderson from Liverpool. After that, however, you have to go some way, to the £8 million received for Kenwyne Jones from Stoke City in the summer of 2010. This was a record outlay by Stoke City. After that, the 4th biggest transfer fee received is joint-held by the sales of 2 former captains. Stoke City paid £5 million for star midfielder and captain fantastic Dean Whitehead in the summer of 2009, which was, at the time, a record fee paid by Stoke City, and 1 year later, in the summer of 2010, captain Lorik Cana was sold for £5 million also, to Galatasaray.
