Werdermouth Fair enough, as long as you’re happy with the way things are. It wasn’t my intention to make extra work for you, I was just trying to s...

I feel sorry for Werdermouth after all his hard work that some folk tend to wander off the subject. Why not set up separate sections under the Middles...

Malcolm Smith made 6 full appearances, another 11 as substitute, and a further 7 as unused substitute in League matches that season scoring 4 goals. H...

Andy R Sorry to send a belated answer to your question about Alan Moore. He came on as a substitute in the 76th minute at home to Everton in April 1...

Redcar Red Thanks for that story. I wrote something on Diasboro a few years ago about Henry Bolckow and John Vaughan, though can’t remember why, bu...

There you go, I knew there were some I had missed including Graham Kavanagh of course.

Len and GHW just beat me to it with the Irish connection, but nevertheless us oldies always knew that anyway. But in the 1900s Boro always had a Scott...

Following the Jonny Crossan story, there used to be a connection with Ireland especially in South Bank which like Liverpool had a long history of Iris...

Today is the 125th anniversary of the formation of the Northern Union now of course known as Rugby League, at the George Hotel in Huddersfield in 1895...

The Boro website is often motivated to state that “On this day Boro etc ...”. I’m rather surprised that 6 days ago it didn’t mention that Boro recorde...

Northampton Town were founder members of the 4th Division after the two regionalised 3rd Divisions North and South were in effect merged with the top ...

I did wonder at first whether there was a connection with AV’s article a week or so ago about the drabness of Middlesbrough as a town being part of th...

No takers on the quiz I set, so I’ve given the answers above.

Self opinionated, arrogant at times, but passionate, that’s what good journalism is all about. Anthony Vickers could be described by all those adjecti...

With play suspended at The Belfry for golf and the forecast for any play at Headingley for cricket not looking hopeful I thought I’d delve into Yorksh...

Thanks for all that information. I was hoping to watch some golf from The Belfry the venue for the Ryder Cup for 3 years from 1985 to 1993 but play ha...

You really don’t like Stewart Downing, do you. I agree that he was disappointing in his second period with Boro, but when I’ve reviewed my history of ...

Jarkko Please check Golf on this forum. Ken

Andy R I sometimes forget how much younger some folk on this forum are than an old codger like me. Alec Bedser had a twin brother Eric, a batsman a...

Jarkko I’m not too aufait with Finnish golfers except for Mikko Ilonen and more recently Mikko Korhonen both 40 year old, but a new star on the hor...

You’re probably correct to raise that question, but Jimmy isn’t really what I’d call a fast bowler, mainly a bowler relying on swing and seam, and in ...

Is it really 25 years since Boro played their first match at the Riverside Stadium? I wasn’t able to get a ticket for the match but queued for a coupl...

Congratulations to Jimmy Anderson on getting to 600 England Test wickets, a phenomenal number for a fast bowler in a Test career of 17 years and 156 d...

This was the last time that Boro reached the Quarterfinal of a major Cup competition almost only a year ago and this is how it enfolded:- 2018/19 LE...
