Boro 2 Norwich 2 Ray Henderson & Brian Clough with the goals

Got me thinking, back in the days the husbands had to wait outside for the birth of their & the nurses would come out telling the nervous dad, its a boy/girl, mind that was in the good old days, today the parents would sue the NHS for saying what sex the baby was

Anyway got me thinking with my dad been a massive, massive Boro fan who never, ever missed a home game, was he actually at the hospital or Ayresome Park & just told my mam to get
 a message to AP & Bernard Gent would announce it over the tannoy, "Can Erimus senior get yourself the the hospital, your son is born"
