[Johnny Vincents Motorbike]

we all love the fellah.

 

[SmogonOuseburn]

The only keeper to score a hat trick?
He is often in the West Upper stand and is very approachable. Really nice guy, and was a top keeper for us.

 

[HolgateCorner]

Legend.

And nice bloke as well, met him once years ago in Binns when he was still playing and selling Boro stuff, total gentleman with me and my mam.

 

[tonybiriyani]

Great servant, and an excellent keeper.

All the best Jim.

Ohhh Jimmy Jimmy...

Came to see me at my home after a hospital surgery, and signed my plaster cast, He also did a bit of training with my uncles football team.

He sits proudly in my office, in Manchester next to a little Brazilian.

The Boro keeper of my youth, from when I first started watching Boro. He always did that thing of catching it, then dropping it then catching it again. Almost like a basketball thing. Or did I imagine that. So long ago!

Happy Birthday Jimmy,looking back we were spoilt with that 73 team after a few years of near misses.

Happy Birthday Councillor Platt! My favourite Boro keeper, unfortunate to be denied many international caps due to playing at the same time as Pat Jennings.
