Middlesbrough v Barnsley from the 82-83 season with Roger Thames doing the commentary I can remember Darren Wood scoring his curling effort into the top corner of the Holgate like it was yesterday. Sadly four of the Boro line up that day are no longer with us

I’m not sure on that one erimus - i don’t remember much about the game itself other than watching Darren’s curler head towards me in the Holgate, i had a great view of that one. Didn’t realise Kevin Beattie made his debut in that game either, and totally forgot he is another who’s passed on

Walsall also wore our away shirts in 86

I was also at this one Chicken, probably stood somewhere near you in the Holagte, would certainly have put you in your place in those days if you got a bit lippy.....

....and I'm still putting you back in your box 40 years later...
Weird really

How did they manage to run in those shorts?

Was this the Barnsley game where a couple of their supporters got slashed?

I think that was a couple of years later.

Wow, Souness really was some player. I mean, I started going in 74 but you just forget how good he was.

I was a very young 6 year old and only started going to games with my old man…i always remember people saying that if Stephen Bell and Darren Wood concentrated on the football and stayed injury free, that they both could be huge in the game..sadly it looks like neither hit the top.

what happened to Darren Wood? Did he go to Chelsea and just fade away?
