The Daily Mail complained that as a mid-week game with little prestige in victory, the Charity Shield offered little incentive to competitive football. With the score 0–0 at half time, Sunderland managed to gain momentum with attacks from their half-backs, and took the lead on 53 minutes through a Burbanks goal. Arsenal responded more positively and equalized on the 77th minute. The winning goal came controversially when Carter's long-distance shot bounced down off the crossbar before being cleared by Arsenal, but was determined to have crossed the line by the linesman. The second half of the match was broadcast with live commentary by Ivan Sharpe on the BBC's Northern radio station.Broadcasting The Times 28 October 1936 Match details 28 October 1936 Sunderland 2–1 Arsenal Burbanks 53 Carter 89 Kirchen 77 Roker Park, Sunderland 15,000 _white_stripes _whitestripes3 _white_stripes _safc_1930-48 FF0000 FF0000 FF0000 000000 000000 Sunderland _white_collar _ afc_1933-35 FFFFFF FF0000 FFFFFF FFFFFF Arsenal GK ENG Johnny Mapson DF SCO Alex Hall DF ENG George Collin MF SCO Charlie ThomsonMF SCO Bert Johnston MF SCO Sandy McNabFW ENG Len DunsFW ENG Raich Carter (c)CF ENG Bobby Gurney FW SCO Patrick GallacherFW ENG Eddie BurbanksManager: SCO Johnny Cochrane GK ENG George SwindinRB ENG Leslie ComptonLB ENG Eddie Hapgood (c)RH ENG Jack Crayston CH ENG Bernard JoyLH ENG Wilf CoppingOR SCO Jackie MilneIR ENG Ray BowdenCF ENG Alf KirchenIL SCO Bobby DavidsonOL ENG Denis ComptonManager: ENG George Allison References 1936 Charity Shield 1936 Charity Shield 1936 Comm FA Charity Shield Category:Sport in the City of Sunderland Category:Football in Tyne and Wear
