Our iconic superstar George Camsell recorded another treble this day when the mighty Boro thrashed South Shields 5-0 at Ayresome Park in our 2nd division champions winning season, his 5th Boro career hat trick to date,  taking his seasons tally to 49 goals, in front of a healthy crowd of 25,322

Along with his hat tricks, he'd twice scored four goals in one game & 5 goals in one game the once, including 3 penalties, unbelievable stats

Owen Williams & William Birrell, completed the scoring, taking their goals to 4 & 9 respectively

This was Boro 33rd hat trick scored at at Ayresome Park & 45 in total home & away

I wish we had him now.
