Boro fans at wolves 1981

If you had one for the league game I would probably be able to pick myself out quite easily as there was probably only about 100 of us there.

The following year? 0-0, was there too, maybe not the game you mean? I thought they was about 1k
 
We should have beaten them at Ayresome.

Craig Johnston was gone within two weeks of the game @ Wolves.

The directors wanted the money for him and Spike for the never to be opened Leisure Centre.

When Spike and Johnson left so followed Proctor and Bosco and then the manager John Neal. Supposedly nailed his resignation letter the Charlie's Amer's door.
 
Went there as 14 year old took the day off school with my mate . If I remember rightly that picture was hung up in the club shop at Ayresome Park for a while.
 
Wolves was my 4th FA Cup QF loss, we really fancied our chances.

It really was the beginning of the end, we never really recovered and the support just gave up, it was a very apathetic in the area. Only the die hards stayed the journey.

My first QF Birmingham for the 1-0 loss Bob Hatton scored,, again we really fancied our chances as well. ended up in tears on the bus.

I was at The Liverpool QF loss was a disappointment because the cup run was good but I think we expected to be beaten 55k there and I was in the Anfield Terrace in the upper seats looking across at the kop, it was an incredible sight to behold, probably only surpassed by Aston Villas holt end for size. I was at the 0-0 away league game V Liverpool that season too in the Anfield Road end.
After the QF game there was hell on for ages, I was sat on the park and ride bus taking us back to the coach park, and was worried for a lad booted half to bits in a shop doorway. it was really vicious.

I was at the home game V Orient the old fella moaned at me wanting to go to the away game with mates on a coach. It was a school night and it was exam study time, also my brother couldn't make it, he was at Newcastle University. I was absolutely crest fallen when we lost that game, looking at the goals on the news I blamed Platty - but never mind.

Wolves I felt we were far better team at home, away I felt we looked the stronger team going in to extra time, Richards and Bell, hmmph.

We should have done what Spurs did when they played them whacked Andy Gray every time he jumped up for the ball, I don't think he made the replay against them.

When we eventually got through our first QF V Derby County I cried like a baby, it was way to an emotional moment and our first FA cup final well it was so overwhelming. We have been through 3 QF now, and still they slag Gibson off FFS. Older Boro fans will appreciate just how difficult it was as a Boro fan, and we did b***r all in the grand scheme of football.

We did "Overcome" in the end
