First Boro match I went to.Billy Ashcroft scored on his home debut, a 2-1 defeat v Birmingham City, on the 10th September 1977
His away debut came the week previous at WBA in a 2-1 defeat, also the late, great Willie Maddrens final Boro game
Boro's 1st £100k signing, breaking the previous record when Boro signed John Mahoney from Stoke in the summer of 77
