1906 - Our 1st win on this day as a league club

[erimus74]

With Stoke City our visitors at Ayresome Park for a 1st division fixture

Andy Aitken, Boro's 3rd manager in his debut season & the clubs 1st ever player manager made the one change when he replaced No11 John Thackeray, with Thomas Murray after the 3-1 loss at Man United one week earlier

Boro certainly made Stoke suffer for the defeat at United when they inflicted the exact same scoreline as last season running out 5-0 winners
Alf Common & Steve Bloomer, two massive players who caused such controversy when signing for the Boro scored a brace each, with Fred Wilcox getting out 5th, getting there 3rd, 7 & 5 goals of the season respectfully

Boro finished the season in 11th place, 7 places higher than the previous season & our 2nd highest finish in the top flight, we also equalled our highest number of top flight away wins (4) & away goals that season
