Sunderland won the 1973 FA Cup to set up a date with Liverpool, the League Champions, in the Charity Shield. However Liverpool decljned to play Sunderland. Without Liverpool as opponents Sunderland decided not to play at all. This left that years Charity Shield match to be competed for by Manchester City who had won the competition in 1972 and Burnley who were the 2nd Division champions. It was mooted that the reason Liverpool declined to play Sunderland was due to the humiliation heaped upon Leeds United when they were defeated by Sunderland in the F A Cup final. Quite simply, they didn't want a repeat episode.
