13th November 1920 - Our first league win on this day

[erimus74]

And against our 'derby rivals' Sunderland in a division one away fixture, after beating them 2-0 the previous week we went onto record our first league double over them

Alosno Poulton, the only change from the 2-0 home win over Sunderland at Ayresome Park seven days earlier, made his first start of the season, his third Boro game to date, two the previous season & all away from home

The first four seasons following WW1 throughout the season, teams played each other home & away over two consecutive Saturdays

George Elliott, as he did the previous week against Sunderland bagged another brace to take his seasons goal tally to record his 14th of the season







Jim Howies team improved on the previous seasons 13th place to finish in 8th place, 6 points behind runners up Man City (2 points for a win back then)
