Good effort, and it would make sense, but they weren’t in the football league when I was a kid, so incorrect. :sad:

None of the above I’m afraid, ChengduFan :sad:

Although the name Sunderland did intrigue me!

Don’t think they’ve ever been in the Football League :chin:

Had a good cup run in the late 70s, though : 5th round (last 16) furthest a non-league side has ever been in the modern era I suspect.

from where did they wander?


From Bolton or Wolverhampton, I’d guess; but not into my juvenile imagination as a foreign entity :sad:

Not they. Although I probably did wonder where the hell they were based! :chuckle:

Good shout, particularly as they were just known as ‘Orient’ back then, but growing up in London, there was an Orient fan in my primary school so their location never troubled me!

the original wanderers were actually from east london. they were called wanderers as they had no home ground. but they were never in the football league, as they folded after winning five of the first seven fa cups.
