Villa must have come close ? Not sure how good they were on the run up to the second world war like, did they miss out during the Queens dad's reign?
Sunderland hold a football record that can never be beaten ....

The killer is Edward VIII - he reigned Jan 1936 to Dec 1936.
We won the league and Arsenal won the cup.
Arsenal never won anything until 1930’s so missed the first two Monarchs.

Are we the only team to play a game of three halves?

Not unless there was no opposing side.
For this reason, hope Liz hangs on and it goes directly to William and a long reign and we keep our record...

What is also impressive about that is that we beat the team that went on to win the League ..... not a 10 man side heading for relegation like Southampton
I’d happily get beat 9-1 again if yous if it meant we were champions at the end of the season.

I seem to remember something about the referee turning up late the teams had already agreed to start the game but when the referee did arrive he insisted on starting the game again. So there was a game of three halves it's just that the 1st half didn't count.
Have no idea if I just dreamed that mind MBH would probably know.

Didn't we stop Man City from equalling this in 2012?

The "Game of Three Halves" was the name given to a football match played between Sunderland and Derby County on the opening day of the 1894–95 English football season.
Derby had travelled to Sunderland on 1 September for their first round fixture in the new First Division season. The nominated referee, T. Kirkham, was running late, so the game started with a replacement referee, John Conqueror, in charge.
After 45 minutes play, with Sunderland leading 3–0, Kirkham arrived. He made an incredible decision, asking Derby if they wanted to start the game from scratch, thus annulling the 45 minutes that had already been played. Derby accepted, and two more halves followed, thus allowing three halves to be played.
The decision to start the match again did not help Derby. They conceded three further goals in the "second half" and five goals in the "third half" to officially lose the match 8–0
