EDITORS COMMENTS
The Sunderland squad takes a breather at their Southport Training camp, finding solace before the intense FA Cup Semi final clash against Birmingham City. Stepping away from the football frenzy on Wearside, Southport was a cherished retreat for the team in the 1930s. In this print by ncjMedia Ltd, we witness a moment frozen in time as these legendary players unwind and recharge amidst the tranquil surroundings. From left to right, we see Jock MacDougall, Bobby Gurney, Harry Shaw, Sam Morris, Jimmy Connor, Alex Hastings, Jimmy Leonard (also known as Hookey), Bob Middleton, Arthur Andrews, Bill Murray, Joe Devine and Billy Eden. Their relaxed postures and camaraderie speak volumes about their bond as teammates. The fence behind them serves as a fitting backdrop that symbolizes both unity and determination. However serene this scene may appear now with its sepia tones hinting at nostalgia of yesteryears; it is important to note that history did not favor Sunderland on that fateful day. Despite their valiant efforts during the match against Birmingham City in the FA Cup Semi final of 1930s century England's most prestigious cup competition - they were defeated with a scoreline of 2-0. This remarkable photograph encapsulates not only an era but also reminds us of how even great teams face setbacks along their journey towards glory.
