Eddie Connachan used to be very obliging with an autograph if you knocked on his door on Trimdon Avenue.Just been away in Scotland and while I was there we had the tragic death of Dave Shearer.
It got me thinking about great Boro Scots over the years - Souness and Murdoch from Charlton Champions, Willie Whigham attracted several coach loads to from north of the border to watch his debut. Bernie Slaven played for Ireland but penned a "come and get me" letter to all the English clubs before becoming a Teesside legend. There was Barry Robson scorer of a Boxing Day blaster, from the Strachan "select." Local lad James Morrison of course went on to gather many Scotland caps.
But who was your favourite?
No Bobby Thomson!!We've had some excellent Scottish players represent the mighty Boro
Graeme Souness
Bobby Murdoch
Gary Hamilton
Willie Falconer
Bernie Slaven
Barry Robson
Tony McAndrew
Johnny Hendrie
Managers - Bruce Rioch
No doubt I've missed a few
Good call with Rioch as the manager. His physio could be the late great Jimmy Headridge. His assistant could be Jack Charlton's right hand man Ian MacFarlane.We've had some excellent Scottish players represent the mighty Boro
