Sunderland’s 1986–88 period was one of the lowest points in the club’s history, marked by successive relegations and deep turmoil.
In 1986/87, under Lawrie McMenemy, Sunderland endured a disastrous campaign in the Second Division, finishing 20th and suffering relegation to the Third Division for the first time in their history. Poor form, low morale, and a lack of cohesion plagued the team despite experienced players like Gary Bennett and David Hodgson.
In 1987/88, new manager Denis Smith led a swift revival. With key contributions from Eric Gates, Marco Gabbiadini, and Gordon Armstrong, Sunderland finished third and won promotion back to the Second Division, beginning their road to recovery.
