HOOF 31 January 2021: 12 Day Quiz - DAY 13 -TIE BREAK RESULTS - Guess Erimus74's favourite Boro footballers

I think he will go for Willie Maddren as he was a great player


One of my earliest football memories was watching him against Coventry and asking my dad why Maddren was number 10? and getting the reply that he will be best player wearing any shirt, including number 1 if they gave him it! Not sure why he was wearing it though.

junos_boots, when I attended a 73-74 reunion dinner, Stuey Boam stood up & said the exact same thing your dad said, including playing in goal

Indeed, but not, I would suggest a "number 5" as defined in this thread i.e. central defender

Indeed he was a number 6 but Otto was not a true number 8 imho. Willie and Stuey were both centre halves, willie himself confirmed his best position was centre half.
imho, the best centre half never capped by England. He was a wonderful cultured player, very talented indeed.

Wouldn't disagree but Spanishman has decreed only one central defender as he wants a defensive midfielder at No6, so that for me would be Boam.

Strange call by Senor hombre espanol, but if you make the game up ..... ;)

It was to try to mix things up for a bit of fun. To make people think about Erimus74's thinking process. It is not the best Boro 12. Apologies if I have offended anyone.
