This day 1967

Seen one of our iconic legends score his 2nd Boro career hat trick as the Boro put 5 past Plymouth at Ayresome Park in a 2nd divison game without reply

John Hickton had bagged his only hat trick the previous season has now doubled his account

Johnny Crossen & John O'Rourke completed the scoring in front of 18,025 so far, our lowest home attendance of the season

With only win out of the 1st 11 matches, following promotion the previous season, our only win coming in a 2-0 away win at Hull City in late September, it was vital Boro started collecting points at home to move away from the wrong end of the league
