Boro flashback - 3rd October

We played our 1st ever football league cup match when Cardiff City arrived at Ayresome Park in a 1st round tie

Unfortunately & typical Boro turned up with an attendance of 15,695 watched as the mighty Boro slumped to a 4-3 defeat

Gordon Jones, registered No418, made his Boro debut that night

Boro goalscorers, Alan Peacock & a brace from Brian Clough

Manager Bob Dennison picked the following team

Bob Appleby
Gordon Jones
Mick McNeil
Bill Harris
Kenneth Thomson
Ron Yeoman
Ronny Burbeck
Dave Fernie
Brian Clough
Alan Peacock
Eddie Holliday

Ah yes - Ken Thomson

I wonder how many of the goals were his fault?

Wasn't it Willie Fernie? I think I have his autograph!
