Welcome to the family website of Sunderland footballer Arthur Wright.

 

 Arthur had a very proud playing career giving 35 years loyal service

to Sunderland AFC and is believed to be the clubs longest serving one

club man, making 281 first team appearances either side of WW2.

 

From making his first team debut at the age of 18 ( a rarity back in those days)

in 1938 and going on to play his last league game for the Lads at

Bramall Lane in 1955 at the  age of 35,  he then stayed with the 

club as part of the backroom staff for a further 14 years.

 

We hope that you enjoy reminiscing over "proper footy" from days gone by

and please feel to contact us to share any memories that you have of

SAFC during the 40s, 50s or 60s

 

The website is currently under construction and will be an

ongoing project so please bear with us......
