The 1961–62 season was Sunderland's 78th year in existence and 4th consecutive season in the Division Two. Also the club competed in the FA Cup and the League Cup.

Summary

During June, Northern Irish Forward Ian Lawther was transferred out to Blackburn Rovers.[1] Also Johnny Goodchild[2] and Jackie Maltby left the club.[3][4] In July 1961, one of Clough's transfer requests was finally accepted and he moved to Boro's local rivals Sunderland for £55,000.[5] However, a poor start and a final day draw at Swansea saw the team finish third, a point behind Leyton Orient and nine points behind deserved champions Liverpool led by the inspirational Bill Shankly.
