Sunderland Albion were formed by some members of Sunderland who did not like the commercial direction the club was taking. The two clubs were fierce rivals - when they were drawn together in the 1888-89 FA Cup , Sunderland withdrew rather than allow Albion to benefit from the increased gate receipts. Albion were founder members of the Football Alliance in 1889 , but when Sunderland joined The Football League in 1890 , Albion's crowds began to suffer. To try and gain extra support, Albion joined the Northern League as well, playing in both leagues in the 1890-91 season before concentrating on the latter. However, when Sunderland won the League title in 1892 , Albion decided to call it a day. LEAGUE RECORD HONOURS
