IIRC, Mr Middlesbrough missed his 1st Boro penalty this day 1970 but still had the last laugh

When netting the opening goal in an amazing game that went one way, then another & finally a Boro victory

Great stuff. Been researching a bit about King John. He missed 4 penalties in total for us.

@shaun71 , I'm sure his final miss was at home to Coventry City in 1976, night match, we won 2-0, I have the match report

@shaun71, without checking I wasn't too sure if Hull, or Cardiff when their keeper saved his penalty
Hill City
Cardiff City
Coventry City
Carlisle United - pre season

Love seeing these old clippings. You get the full chaos of the match in the writeup and it reminds you how dramatic that season felt. Great bit of Boro history.
