Tony McAndrew dropping to the subs bench Mark Proctor was given the No7 shirt by Boro manager John Neal in a 3-1 away win at Birmingham City with Davey Armstrong, Billy Ashcroft & David Mills scoring the goals
After a disapointing start of the new season home defeat the saturday previous, the mighty Boro bounced back in style comfortably winning at one of our bogey grounds

MP went on to score 9 goals in his debut season, with his 1st goal on the 16th december 1978 coming in a 7-2 thrashing of Chelsea, with his final Boro goal away to Tranmere on the 10th April 1992

John Neals team

Jim Stewart - 2nd game after his £110k signing from Kilmarnock
John Craggs - One of the best (if not the best) ful back not to have played for England
Ian Bailey
John Mahoney - One time Boro record signing
Stuey Boam - IMHO, our best ever Boro captain
Alan Ramage
Mark Proctor
David Mills - Final season at the Boro (before his record transfer sale late November) later to return for a second spell
Billy Ashcroft - Boro's record signing
Billy Woof
David Armstrong - RIP 😔

MP went on to play a total of 265 games in over two seperate periods, scoring 20 goals

IMHO, a very good pro & player for us in his 2 seperate spells at the Boro

Registered No594 - 2nd spel between 1988 - 1993 Playing 138 games, scoring 6 goals
