This is a tribute to Boro fan from Ashington, Brian Robinson, who passed away yesterday.
When Brian's cancer worsened, Yvonne Ferguson invited him to be guest at a Boro game. Brian was so thankful for the experience that he penned me this article for the fanzine about a day that was a light in the darkness for him at the time. Not that you would know from the article that he was even ill.
Brian actually enjoyed a further 12 months of extra time including a birthday he toasted with friends at Christmas time last year, I was fortunate to be there at the Bridge Inn, Newcastle. We toasted Boro with Newcastle castle keep just behind us.
I thought you might like to read his words about his day out at the Riverside for Boro v Ipswich as a little tribute to a Boro fan in Ashington.
Brian Robinson RIP.
 
RIP Brian, another member for the holgate in the sky x

Nice write up Rob, I liked the part 'After the game we had a little chat with Rob Nichols and he asked me my reason for being a Boro fan whilst living up in Ashington. Well, that stems back to 1976 when I watched good old ‘Shoot’ on the tv on a Sunday. I followed the Boro purely because they had never won anything major and were always classed as the underdogs. That was my incentive and the 70”s brought a team that was full of talent David Mills/Alan Foggon/Stuart Boam/Mark Proctor
