This isn’t just a Sunderland AFC history lesson; this is a story about family, friends and the newly emerging city of Sunderland. For some The Sunderland Story will take you on a trip down memory lane, for others it’s an education, a chance to learn about Sunderland Football Club’s extraordinary history told through music, comedy and emotion. The story is told through the Carter family, busy mourning the loss of a loved one, and it is during the wake that the stories of present day and days gone by are told from the heart.
