Club Treasures: 1895 Championship medal

James ‘Blood’ Hannah was part of ‘The Team of All The Talents’.

A Scotland international forward, Hannah scored the first and last league goals of the 1894-95 season when Sunderland won the league for the third time in four years – and became the first club to be champions three times.

This medal is kindly on loan courtesy of Hannah’s great grandson, Dean Bates.
