This day 1992 - Moggas testimonial

[erimus74]

After making over 400 appearences for the mighty Boro, scoring 28 goals & acheiving his childhood dream of, not only playing for the club he supported but, becoming a legend, a captain & manager, Mogga returned on this day for a well deserved testimonial with his new team, Celtic

On the 8th September 1982, Bobby Murdoch gave both, Paul Ward & Mogga, their debuts in an away derby clash with Newcastle United, his final Boro game was a 2-1 defeat at Barnsley on bonfire night 1991

Bobby had given Mogga one job & a hard one at that, to man mark Newcastles talisman, Kevin Keegan, he must have done a good job as he kept Keegan & Newcastlle quiet with the Boro coming away with our 1st point of the season, Darren Wood scored our equaliser after Mick Channon had scored his 1st of 2 Newcastle goals

In terms of numbers and the way they just wandered around that end of the town pissed up. It was the craziest look (not in a violent way) I've seen from any away support at Middlesbrough.

Horrible fuckers but they do show up when down in England as do Rangers of course.


I would have them down here, and even give them both a pass into the championship. It would fun but i do think they would offer something and break into the elite in the premier league quite quickly given a chance.


Both Huge clubs in support, but would bring out the worst in English hooliganism again should they join our leagues down here in England, so I don't think it would ever happen in my lifetime.
