Thought I would re-pot again as it was a game on the way to our 1st trophy win

Boro flashback 9th August 1975 

ASC Qualifying round

Newcastle 2 Boro 2

Boro needed to avoid to defeat to finish top of the group to progress to the K/O stages, the group consisted of Boro, Carlisle, Sunderland & Newcastle 

IIRC a male Newcastle streaker ran on the pitch with the scores still at nil all, he looked like he'd been to Benidorm for his holidays with having white parts where his shorts once were, think he was wearing his socks ??

With the distraction over Newcastle scored 1st, Boro equalised through Alan Willey, took the lead through David Armstrong only for Newcastle to equalise, Boro had secured the point needed & progressed to the knock out stage, were we would play Aberdeen in the ASC QF

This day 12th August 1972, Malscolm Smith made his full league debut for the mighty Boro, after been named as a playing sub in the final game of the previous season he was given the No9 shirt 

From my viewpoint in the boysned I watched as Sunderland took the lead but not long after Smith levelled the score & in the 2nd half won the day with the winning goal to secure the two points & fantatsic debut againts our local rivals, it doesnt get any better

My 1st full seson going to games
