7th September 1974 - The late, great Willie Maddren

[erimus74]

Scored his first ever top flight goal on this day at home to Chelsea. One of, if not, the best ever Boro defender scored the first of 4 top flight goals

Our last top flight home win was way back in April 1954 & after a game Boro dominated we still had to wait for that elusive win as Chelsea fought back to earn a point in a 1-1 draw & still our first home top flight win went on, drawing two & losing one so far.

I knew I had a photo somewhere of Willie Maddren celebrating
