Happy 75th birthday Alan Foggon, born in West Pelton on this day 23rd 1950
Alan became Stan Andersons penultimate signing (Graeme Souness following Alan through the incoming door for Stans final signing) when paying Cardiff City £10k for his signature
25th November 1972 - Alan wore the No12 shirt when Stan Anderson named Foggon in the 1st team squad to face Swindon Town at Ayresome Park
When Alan replaced Eric McMordie in the 2nd half he was registered No492 Boro player to start a 1st team game
Unfortunately Boro went down 2-0
30th December 1972 - After 2 sub appearences, resulting in no goals for the Boro, Alan Foggon scored the only goal of the game on his full debut as the mighty Boro beat Oxford United at Ayresome Park
He went on to finish his 1st Boro season with an impressive 7 goals in 15 games, paing back the money & the concern laid out on him
1973/74 - Foggon became the top scorer with 19 goals in our fantastic championship season & 1974/75 season with 16 goals
1975/76 he became a bit part player, scoring 3 goals in 18 games, 7 as sub & then in the summer of 76 was suprisingly sold to Man Utd for £27k, then to Sunderland without starting a game at Old Trafford
124 Boro appearences, 12 as sub, scoring 49 goals
Cracking player for us
