SUNDERLAND 2-1 MILLWALL - FA CUP SEMI-FINAL - 10.04.1937
Starting off with a big win, not on the scoreline, but in terms of the result. The Semi-Final tie was played at Leeds Road in Huddersfield, which had an attendance of over 62 thousand people. It was an underdog run to the semis for Millwall, with the club being in the third division at the time. We had to play the villains in the story, but we didn’t mind if it meant an easier route to the final. Millwall actually went 1-0 up in the match, with some writing the headlines already as if they were about to produce another cup shock, after all it is the magic of the FA Cup. Unfortunately for Millwall, we were far too superior after the brief setback. We imposed our dominance and made sure we weren’t part of any humiliating cup jinx, winning the game 2-1 en route to Wembley where we would win the whole thing!
