Leeds United vs Sunderland History

Leeds United have a rich history, one that includes major honours at both domestic and continental levels and with a fanbase that reflects these achievements, albeit much of them being in the distant past. Under gruff boss Don Revie, the Elland Road side picked up two English titles as well as an Inter-Cities Fairs Cup and an FA Cup triumph before he was replaced by Brian Clough in 1974. Howard Wilkinson led the West Yorkshire side to a third title in 1991/92, the last campaign before the formation of the Premier League.

Sunderland have also won a major honour or two over the course of their nearly 140-year-plus history. Six domestic titles have been accrued by the Tyne and Wear side, albeit the last of these came in the 1930s and in 1972/73, they completed a famous FA Cup Final win over Leeds United, with Ian Porterfield scoring the winning goal in front of 100,000 fans at Wembley Stadium.

These two teams have played each other on plenty of occasions, with that 1973 FA Cup Final being their most infamous fixture. On Sunderland’s first visit to Leeds in the Premier League era, in November 1996, goals from Mark Ford, Lee Sharpe and Brian Deane gave the home side a comfortable 3-0 victory. In 2002, a goal from Jason McAteer gave Sunderland a rare away win at Elland Road in that season’s top-tier match.
