5th December 1992 - History made at Ayresome Park

[erimus74]

John Hendrie scored Boro's 1st ever PL hat trick

Boro beat Blackburn Rovers 3-2 at Ayresome Park, with Stuart Ripley one of the 1986 Boro legends, returning to the Boro for the 1st time since his big money transfer during the close season
A nervous Stuart Ripley was left disappointed as the mighty Boro beat Rovers who fell to their 1st away defeat of the season

It was John Hendries 1st of 3 Boro career hat tricks, our 89th hat trick at AP & 127 in total since becoming a league club in 1899
