Wasn't this the day of the fearsome aggro not only at AP but also at numerous flashpoints in town and at the General hospital ?? Followed by Wolves in 6th round ?? Memory not what it was....

Pitch didn't look in great nick.

Perhaps Leyton Orient in FA Cup 6th round. lost in a replay

That was a cracker. One of the best games I ever saw. Yet another QF defeat, though, one of five or six in a dozen years, if I recall, most of which I saw. Which is why I will still say to this day that my greatest moment as a Boro fan was 8 March 1997 at the baseball ground at about 4:45 when Ravanelli banged in an injury time 2nd to lay what was probably the most ridiculous of all football jinxes and get us into the semi-final for the first time.

I fully get that. Remember those painful QF defeats.
Wasn't at Derby but following on the radio. Almost felt like winning the cup getting into the semis.

Funny flicking through the beginning of the video and watching the interviews with the players from the Southampton / Man Utd game .. all in the players lounge, smoking and drinking beers. Football. The good old days.

It was the alcohol in the players blood systems that prevented a lot of injuries back then.
 
Never seen anything like it.
Darts bottles anything and everything went on during the game.
Mesmerising as a kid and AP at its best and worst.
I'd love that team back but glad those days off the pitch are mostly over.

I think, for the Liverpool away game, we had the legendary ‘League Liner’ supporters train.
Also - Alf Woods header, at the anfield rd, did cross the line

For me it was the official coaches (first away game without my Dad). The day was quite an experience for a school kid. As we entered the Enfield road end there was a brawl on the stairs. It was the early days of the Anfield road scallies and there was no proper segregation.
56k sellout and not all ticket!
Loads of Boro locked out and some went over to watch Everton v Derby at Goodison, being played at the same time.

Arsenal lads recall fighting continued in A&E at the General Hospital !
Next round (QF) Liverpool away and that Alf Wood 'goal'...thousands of Boro as per usual and a very scary day, Scousers not exactly a welcoming bunch!
