Just looked that game up Blf, we lost 1-0March 31st 1962 we won 1-0. Can't remember who scored but remember the game as I thought we weren't going to be able to go.

Mine was the return at ayresome. Missed a halftime penalty but we won 3-0August 1989 - Pallys last Boro game. He was sh*t, we got beat 2-1 at Roker Park.
Armstrong scoring the third & our 100th goal against them on TeessideApparently mine was in 1997, Darren Williams scored and they won 1-0 but I don't remember that game at all
1st game I can remember being at vs them was the Branca and Armstrong game.
Yea remember that, the Sunderland lad who scored said that he would stand 12 yards outside the area & starts his run at the same time as the penalty taker does, as the penalty taker takes the spot kick the runner has just enteted the box & will be the 1st to react if the ball is saved & a loose ball, which was the case, probably the only time its happened, but his plan worked1-1 draw during the 99/00 season. They had a player sent off in the first half and we dominated, took the lead through a Ricard goal and they equalised late on. Schwarzer saved the penalty and somebody buried the rebound.
Can remember their fans goading us singing "we've only got 10 players" and felt gutted.
