15th December 1973 - Boro 1 Nottm Forest 0

[erimus74]

Big Jack kept faith with the team that beat Preston 3-0 in our midweek 3-0 home win over Preston, as Boro continued to beat every team in front of them & extend our unbeaten run to now 19 games with a 1-0 win over Forest & remain 6 points clear of second place Luton Town

Stuey Boam scored his first goal of the season with the only goal of the game as the mighty Boro continued to dominate the 2nd division on the way to being the best ever 2nd division champions

Brian Deane scored a last minute winner at the City ground for a 2-1 win 1999, it still took a few years after the City ground win before we beat Forest on Teesside, Mogga was our manager at the time when we did
