8th December 1900 on this day

Our 1st match & the 1st Boro player to score 4 goals in a competative Boro game as a league club

John Brown, in his only season at the club, became the 1st Boro player to score 4 (haul) goals in one game when the mighty Boro beat Bishop Aukland 4-0 in the FACQ3, taking his tally to the season to 8 goals

He was also credited with scoring our 1st ever away penalty, which was at Chesterfield on the 22nd september 1900 our 1st league away win

10 goals in 28 appearences, remarkable stat

Is that the same gadgee who's body "lies a-mouldering in the grave"
Erimus ?

Must've been some boy like, for Bob Dylan to write a poem about him n'all.

Bob Dylan was a big Boro fan

It's well known. A lot of his songs are about Boro players from the past

And the Bob End was named after him

True . . .
He wrote a few tunes about the club:

Mogga's farm

Waiting to get beat

You ain't going nowhere

4th time around

Ballad of a Wolfman

Don't fall apart on me tonight

End of the line

Gates of Ayresome

Girl from the north ormesby

A hard rain's gonna fall,

Plus many, many others

And who could forget the hit 'Knocking on Riochs door' from the classic album 'Tangled up in red and white'
