Murray was replaced by Alan Brown. In 1958, with Brown in charge, Sunderland were relegated from Division One for the first time in their history, bringing their 68-year stay in England's top division to an end. Going into the final game of the season, they still had a chance of avoiding relegation, if they could win their game against Portsmouth and if Leicester City could be held by Birmingham City. Sunderland won their game 2–0, but Birmingham could not prevent Leicester from winning, thus Sunderland were relegated. FA Cup glory and Europe: 1959–1979 After Sunderland's first relegation from Division One in the 1957–58 season, the club at first languished in the lower half of Division Two, finishing the 1959–60 season in sixteenth place. Two finishes in third place followed in the 1961–62 and 1962–63 seasons, Sunderland in each case missing out on promotion by just one position. The 1961–62 season also saw the retirement of Brian Clough due to injury, after he had scored 63 goals in 74 games for the club. After six years in Division Two, Sunderland were promoted back to the First Division at the end of the 1963–64 season. In 1964 Brown left his managerial post at Sunderland on appointment as manager of Sheffield Wednesday. After Sunderland had played through three months of the 1964–65 season without a manager, George Hardwick took over on a caretaker basis, until Ian McColl was appointed on a permanent basis at the end of the season. Brown returned for a second spell at Sunderland in 1968. After their promotion Sunderland failed to make an impact in Division One, never finishing higher than fifteenth in six years, after which they were relegated for the second time. Billy Elliott, a former Sunderland player, took over after Brown's second departure, but managed the team for only four matches before former Newcastle United player Bob Stokoe was appointed as permanent manager. An intriguing interlude came about in 1967, when Sunderland spent a summer in North America playing in the United Soccer Association, a league which imported various international clubs. Sunderland worked in North America under the name Vancouver Royal Canadians, finishing fifth in the league's Western Division. In 1973, as a Second Division side, Sunderland reached the FA Cup Final, where they beat the cup-holders Leeds United. A first half goal by Scotsman Ian Porterfield was the only goal of the game.
