He passed away at the young age of 37.

5. Dave Halliday [1925-1929]

One of the most coveted players that Sunderland can boast of, Dave is perhaps one of the very, very few people who have been the outright top scorers in the top division leagues in both England and Scotland, the feat which he achieved when he scored 38 goals for Dundee during the season of 1923-1924 and when he scored 43 goals for Sunderland during 1928-1929.
