Additional Information: There seems to be some controversy over the name of OASIS club, the name was given to the club by the late  Jimmy Bainbridge, and opinion vary as to the meaning of the O. Alan Race, a founder member, seems to remember it standing for Our or Ordinary but he can't remember which. The name Only was coined by Brian Risbridger, which could have been a wind-up as he started using it after the demise of the other Sunderland club, Sunderland AS.
