History[]
2014–15[]
They first appeared in the ⚽️⚽️⚽️FOOTBALL'S COMING HOME⚽️⚽️⚽️( Premier League 2014/2015 Preview Song), where they were in the end, appearing in the club introduction. In a video, they beat rivals New-Cash United thanks to a lone JerWillem Defoe goal in the 45th minute. The video also has banners of Jack Colbackstab and other Geordie stuff in a noose, which were obviously made by SAFC fans. They also appeared in Wacky Races (later Footballer 1), in which at the start of the races, the Sunlessland cat would get an obstacle which would make it start late.
They finished 16th place in that season, just 2 places away from relegation, and behind fierce rivals New-Cash United. This might've been predictable, as Dean named SAFC, "Sunlessland AFC".
