Roker Park
Roker Park was the home stadium of Sunderland AFC from 1898 until 1997. The ground combined a covered main stand designed by Archibald Leitch with large standing terraces including the concreted Roker End and the Clock Stand, and hosted league, FA Cup and 1966 World Cup matches. The stadium was demolished after the club moved to the Stadium of Light; the site is now a housing estate.

As it stood in 1936
What Roker Park looked like in its prime.
A low-lying, tightly contained football ground surrounded by terraced housing, dominated by a long covered Main Stand with a pitched roof and visible criss-cross steel latticework at its gable. Large open standing terraces run behind both goals—one concreted Roker End—and steep stepped terraces on the Clock Stand with rows of crush barriers. The playing surface is a dark, slightly crowned turf; most spectator accommodation is standing terraces with simple railings and narrow gangways, all packed with fans.
