That is surprising. Good player was Nattrass.
Didn't we pay a big fee to get him from Newcastle? The biggest ever for a full back at the time I think.

£425k at the time, unfortunately we lost Stuey Boam to the Geordies back then too

Nattrass was a top, upcoming CB, nowhere near the late, great Willie Maddren but a very good signing all the same, sadly his poor form of injuries meant we never seen the best of him

He came to the club injured & when he actually started for the Boro, away to Arsenal, he wore No10

Didn't he have a newsagents in Boro, that one on the corner of West lane, near where you use to live? . . . I remember Boams shop on Barnabas Rd

17/1/1981 - Dave Hodgson was the penultimate football league player to receive a 'red card' before red cards were binned & then reintroduced 6 years later (1987/88 season)

After putting Boro one nil up after 5 minutes Hodgy received his marching orders in the 22nd minute in a 3-2 defeat, all this while wearing a Man Utd home shirt due to television banning sponsors names on shirts

Man Citys Nicky Reid was later sent off in the 88th minute to become the last red carded footballer at the time
