Erimus74 2,977 Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 A big game tomorrow, a game we have to win which could get us closer to the safety points needed for survival 2 blast from the past games v Luton, one when Tony McAndrew made his Boro debut standing in wearing the No4 shirt, for the greatest Boro player, IMHO, Graeme Souness & our last match at AP v Luton Link to post Share on other sites

Erimus74 2,977 Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 Boro flashback 15th February 1977 & one of the quickest goals scored at Ayrssome Park when Arsenal arrived for this Tuesday night 1st division fixture Arsenal's 1st visit to face the Boro inside a week when facing the Boro again at AP for the upcoming, mouth watering FAC 5th round tie But 1st Boro had to face the might of the Gunners, 10 days after seeing off their North London rivals Spurs 2-0 The Arsenal fixture started off at a blistering pace when Peter Brine scored after 20 seconds to put us 1-0 up for his 1st goal of the season & his 7th career goal to date Davey Armstrong scored the 2nd for his 8th goal of the season & David Mills scored our 3rd & 10 th of the season, setting himself up nicely for the weekend Tge vast majority of the 26,083 went home hoping the coming Saturday Boro can repeat tonight's rssukt Supermac told the tabloids it'll be a different Arsenal that turn up for the Cup match, well time will tell Big Jacks team Pat Cuff John Craggs Terry Cooper Graeme Souness Stuey Boam Willie Maddren Phil Boersma David Mills Peter Brine Alf Wood David Armstrong Sub - Alan Willey 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Erimus74 2,977 Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 Boro flashback - 21st February 1981 Boro 3 Stoke City 1 A brace from Bosco Jankovic, one a penalty, a 1st for Bosco with his 8th & 9th goals of the season & a Terry Cochrane strike, his 1st goal of the season, resulting in both points staying on Teesside 👍 A disapointing low crowd of 15,142 was a bit of a concern for John Neal & the excellent, young, exciting team he was putting together, especially with us going so well in the FAC at that moment, maybe they were saving up for wembley 😪 John Neals team Jim Platt John Craggs Ian Bailey Craig Johnston Billy Ashcroft Tony McAndrew Terry Cochrane Mark Proctor David Hodgson Bosco Jankovic Davey Armstrong 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Erimus74 2,977 Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 Boro flashback 1st March 1975 Boro 2 Stoke City 0 Going in to this fixture the Boro have now gone 7 games in the league without a victory to our name, with not a single league victory this calander year, although we are going well (so far) in the FAC, its the league which is concerning big jack & the lack of goalscoring that has him frustrated him During the 7 winless games we have managed to score just 2 goals, with only one coming in 1975 The last time Stoke arrived at Ayresome Park on the 6th November 1973 with an attendance of 26,088 in the ground to see a 3rd round league cup replay between big Jacks 2nd divison champions Boro & 1st divison Stoke, after drawing 0-0 at the Victoria ground it was back to APAfter extra time Stoke won the cup tie 2-1 but now this fixture was between two teams in the on the same level & for the visit of Stoke City the Ayresome Park attendance of 25,766 was slightly down on the previous meeting but the outcome was different with the mighty Boro running out winners to claim our 1st points since boxing day with John Hickton scoring his 6th goal of the season & Alan Foggon with his 13th goal of the season, to make sure both points stayed on Teesside & bring a smile to big Jacks face Normal service was resumed!? Although goalscoring was the big issue Jack had to try & resolve, he was in negotiations in bringing a quality player in other areas of the field & we were on the verge of signing one of the best attacking full backs in my time following the Boro Big Jacks team v Stoke Jim Platt John Craggs Frank Spraggon Graeme Souness Stuey Boam Willie Maddren Bobby Murdoch David Mills John Hickton Alan Foggon Davey Armstrong Link to post Share on other sites
