The 1962–63 season was Sunderland's 79th year in existence and 8th consecutive season in the Division Two. Also the club competed in the FA Cup and the League Cup.

Summary[edit]

During June, Northern Irish Forward Johnny Crossan was transferred in from Standard Liege.[1] Also, Scottish left winger George Mulhall arrived from Aberdeen F.C..[2][3] Center Forward Brian Clough started the season in good form with 24 goals in 24 matches.[4] However, on 26 December 1962 against Bury, in the 27th minute, Brian Clough was injured in a collision with the Bury goalkeeper Chris Harker.[5] Torn ligaments kept him out for the rest of the season and ultimately ended his brilliant playing career.[6] In a season heavily impacted by the "big freeze" of 1963,[7] on the final day, Sunderland needed only a point to secure promotion, but Tommy Harmer's goal left the door open for Chelsea, still 2 points behind but with a game in hand and a better goal average. They took their chance emphatically, beating Portsmouth 7-0 at home the following Tuesday.
