A day I will never forget. A lot of old timers sat around me having tears welled up in their eyes.
A day many of us dreamt of for decades. The Boro winning something major - forget the rubbish of it being worthless. To us it was just rewards for endless heartache from years where we were in a good position but failed everything to go that extra mile.
The winning of the cup meant many a man could die happily in the knowledge of 3 words - we did it!
A proud moment, a proud day that at long last we had come good.
I paid £250 for my ticket - and it was well worth the investment!
Proudest day of my life.
Agreed. At the time his contract for football outweighed his cricket as he was paid all year round for footy and just a few months for cricket with Yorks.
Saw him play a number of times for Yorkshire at Headingly. More than useful fast bowler. Was being mentioned in certain circles as a potential England player. Then a career ending injury - for both football and cricket
I knew Alan Ramage from yesteryear. As a little lad he would turn up to watch his dad Jim play for Guisborough 2nds.
We would play just us two before and after games. Last time I saw him.was at Elland Road in the 70's. He got off the team bus and we had a chat. Nice lad.
3 very, very welcome points. Perfect performance? Nope. But there's times when we play some decent stuff. Far far better movement tonight.
Stoke? Poor team. BUT we have lost numerous points against poor teams!
Well done tonight Boro.
