Boro manager John Neal was showing great faith in this exciting youngster who, after seeing the Boro playing friendlies in Australia during Jack Charlton term as Boro manager paid his own air fare to the UK, hoping to make it as a professional footballer
John Neal had seen enough during his reserve outings & gave him his debut, wearing the No10 shirt in place of Tony McAndrew, in the mouth watering 4th round FAC home tie v Everton, with Boro winning this game 3-2
This victory brought sweet revenge as Everton knocked out the mighty Boro 2-1 at Ayresome Park, with the help of one of the best opposition goalkeeping performances I have ever witnessed at AP in George Wood
Boro won this cup tie with a brace from David Mills & John Mahoneys 1st Boro goal
Boro went in to a 3-0 lead, Everton brought on Duncan McKenzie & at the end we were hanging on for victory, but we did & went in to the hat for the 5th round
