Reginald Garnet 'Tiny Tim' Williamson making his 1st appearence of the season, his 3rd overall & to be recognised as our No1 keeper & 5th different used GK, who is registered No69, in total since becoming a football league club in 1899

Unfortuantly, the mighty Boro lost this 1st divison fixture 3-0 at Everton with Tim Williamson conceding his 1st Boro goals
Tim went on to play a record 602 first team appearences, spanning over 22 seasons for the mighty Boro & to this day, the only Boro keeper to score a goal during a 1st team competative game, which he did in 2 seperate games

Boro finished in 13th place in our 1st ever season in the top flight after joining the football league in 1899
