1891–92 Sunderland A.F.C. Season
The 1891-92 season was Sunderland's 12th season in existence, and their second season as a Football League club. Sunderland overcame a sluggish start (losing the first three away games consecutively) and went on to win all but two games for the rest of the season; including a back-to-back thirteen game winning sequence. They finished the season as English Champions for the first time, marking the first title of the 'Team of All Talents' era; the most successful in the club's history. The team scored a total of 93 league goals in 26 games - an average of 3.6 goals per game. They put seven goals past Derby and put seven past Darwen in both home and away games. Forward John Campbell ended the season as the league's top scorer, scoring a total of 37 goals in just 29 games. The season was unusual in the fact that Sunderland didn't draw a single league match. Sunderland reached the FA Cup Semi-final for the second year in a row, losing to Aston Villa. The season saw a number of chang ...

Goalkeeper (association Football)
In many team sports which involve scoring goals, the goalkeeper (sometimes termed goaltender, netminder, GK, goalie or keeper) is a designated player charged with directly preventing the opposing team from scoring by blocking or intercepting opposing shots on goal. Such positions exist in bandy, rink bandy, camogie, association football, Gaelic football, international rules football, floorball, handball, hurling, field hockey, ice hockey, roller hockey, lacrosse, ringette, rinkball, water polo, and shinty as well as in other sports. In most sports which involve scoring in a net, special rules apply to the goalkeeper that do not apply to other players. These rules are often instituted to protect the goalkeeper (being a target for dangerous or even violent actions). This is most apparent in sports such as ice hockey, field hockey, and lacrosse, where goalkeepers are required to wear special equipment like heavy pads and a face mask to protect their bodies from the impact ...

Midfielder
A midfielder is an outfield position in association football. Midfielders may play an exclusively defensive role, breaking up attacks, and are in that case known as defensive midfielders. As central midfielders often go across boundaries, with mobility and passing ability, they are often referred to as deep-lying midfielders, play-makers, box-to-box midfielders, or holding midfielders. There are also attacking midfielders with limited defensive assignments. The size of midfield units on a team and their assigned roles depend on what formation is used; the unit of these players on the pitch is commonly referred to as the midfield. Its name derives from the fact that midfield units typically make up the in-between units to the defensive units and forward units of a formation. Managers frequently assign one or more midfielders to disrupt the opposing team's attacks, while others may be tasked with creating goals, or have equal responsibilities between attack and defence.
