Just done a BBC online quiz about all the teams that’s ever been top of the Prem . Our beloved Boro are there but BBC say it was Mark Summerbell whose only goal in the prem got us on top . Is that right ?

It is. We were top after 2 games in 2000 after winning away at Coventry then drawing at home to Sputs. Summerbell scored Boro's goal in the 1-1.
 
And here it is for posterity. You may never see this again. Top on alphabetical order. Tottenham and Boro had both won 3-1 on the opening day.

We were top of the old 1st division after beating Norwich 1-0 on a Saturday. It was after 11 games but I can't remember the years. I'll look on 11v11 but I'm sure Erimus will beat me to it.

1976. The day marked my Holgate End debut too.
 
Bloomin tablet I was sure I put Erimus in the dictionary.
13 goals eh? There seems to be a pattern emerging.
I wonder when we were among the league's top scorers?
Probably sometime in the Bernie or Wilko Hendrie eras
