What happened to the side who caused the last, great FA Cup upset?
Today, the romance of the FA Cup is pretty much dead. It's inconceivable that a team from the lower reaches of the Championship could beat the likes of Chelsea or Man Utd in the FA Cup Final. Yet, thirty six-years ago, that is precisely what Bob Stokoe's Sunderland achieved in overcoming the widely reviled Leeds team of Don Revie. It was, arguably, the last fairytale of recent footballing times. In Stokoe, Sunderland and 73, Lance Hardy talks to all the Sunderland players who turned out at Wembley that day, and to the family of Bob Stokoe, to produce the defninitive account of possibly the greatest FA Cup Final upset of all time.
