8th March 1983

[erimus74]

Seen the mighty Boro beat Shrewsbury 2-1 at Ayresome Park with Mick Kennedy & Ray Hankin scoring their 1st home Boro goals
Our 1st home win of the calander year & our 1st home win since beating Chelsea 3-1 on the 11th December

Ray Hankin scored his only Boro league goal this day, scoring a total of 3 Boro career goals, one in the league, FAC & league Cup
Mick Kennedy scored a total of 5 Boro career goals, this day been his third with his final 2 goals scored on his 22nd birthday

Big Mal who was slowly winning the battle to keep the Boro from relegation & IMHO, doesn't get the credit he deserves, picked the following team

Kelham O'Hanlon
Irving Nattrass - That season wore 5 different numbered shirts that season, 2, 4, 5, 7 & 10
Darren Wood - Excellent player from Scarborough who came through the ranks at AP & that season wore 5 different shirt No's, 3, 5, 6, 7 & 9
Mick Baxter
Heine Otto - Class
Paul Sugrue - Great signing by big Mal
Mick Kennedy - Another excellent signing, which Bobby Murdoch made in the close season, that season he wore 6 different shirt No's, 2, 4, 7, 8, 9 & 10
Ray Hankin - Bobby Murdochs final signing, sent off on his Boro debut
Dave Shearer - I liked Shearer, that season he wore 6 different shirt No's, 2, 7, 8, 9, 10 & 11
Stephen Bell - What talent

RIP Mick Kennedy scoring his 1st Boro goal this day 1983

Loved Mick Kennedys time at the club

Still look back with fondness at those days
