Ananova:

Former Sunderland manager Bob Stokoe has died at the age of 73.

Stokoe led the Wearside club to their famous 1973 FA Cup final victory over Leeds at Wembley.

It was the first time a second division team had won the Cup for 40 years and the final is best remembered for Jimmy Montgomery's brilliant double save.

Stokoe, who had been suffering from dementia, was admitted to the University Hospital of Hartlepool on Tuesday and passed away on Sunday morning.

Stokoe, a former Newcastle player, also guided the club to the Second Division title in 1976 with a team which included the evergreen Bryan 'Pop' Robson.

But poor results the following season led to manager Stokoe resigning and the club were relegated again under Jimmy Adamson.

Stokoe began his managerial career at Bury in 1961, whom he managed again in 1977, before he moved on to Charlton, Rochdale (twice), Carlisle (three times), Blackpool (twice) and, of course, Sunderland (twice).
