[erimus74]

When we travelled to Old Trafford for a first division fixture

Boro are doing excellent in the league only losing 2 of our first 12 league games of the season, our 2nd defeat only the previous weekend a 6-2 defeat at Villa

Man Utd were to pay for the drubbing at Villa Park when Boro smashed them 5-3

Goals from Andy Nesbit Wilson (a fine Boro goalscorer), a brace from George Elliott (another excuse Boro goalscorer) John 'Jackie' Carr & Tommy Urwin, for their 9th, 4th, 2nd & 1st goals of the season respectively

Manager Jimmy Howies team went on to finish 8th, equalling the seasons previous finish & best until after relegation & promotion we finished 7th in 1930/31 season
