Hi Nosmo-king, my thoughts exactly, we just thought the team was going to continue improving & a goalscorer was our final piece of the jigsaw, IMHO, the Arsenal cup game was his only good performance in a Boro shirt, but the team was excellent that dayRemember being really excited by him signing. Honestly thought we had a right gem - didn’t work out that way
Yes we drew 0-0 at AP, I was in the Holgate with my brother as the team was doing warm up, players testing Jim Platt during pre match warm up, then a Boro player welled the ball over the bar & smashed my brother in the side of his face as he was chatting to meRemember him getting sent off in one of his first games, wasn't it the 3rd round cup game in Jan 1976? Thrilling 0-0. Went to the replay at Gigg Lane as well, got beat 3-2. Talking to Willie Maddren nearly 20 years after that, he wasn't impressed with Boersma either.

We went 2-0 up in the replay only to lose 3-2
I did say hello but you ignored me, I was saying to my brother, why isn't FartingGnome talking to me"I was in the Holgate"
So was I, you didn't say hello
"We went 2-0 up in the replay only to lose 3-2"
Tell me. No fan segregation at Gigg Lane in those days, at half time their fans all ran from one end to the other to get behind the right goal.
It was crap wasn't it?I did say hello but you ignored me, I was saying to my brother, why isn't FartingGnome talking to me
And coldIt was crap wasn't it?
I remember being really excited when I saw the Gazette sellers’ board saying BORO SIGN LIVERPOOL STAR! thinking we’d signed David Fairclough. Then I bought the paper and saw it was Boersma and the excitement immediately evaporated and I heard the sound of a lame fart.......Remember being really excited by him signing. Honestly thought we had a right gem - didn’t work out that way
Yep I remember that. We played Bury twice in both cups that season. Won in the League Cup, lost in the FA Cup.Remember seeing him getting sent off in one of his first games, wasn't it the 3rd round cup game home to Bury in Jan 1976? Thrilling 0-0. Went to the replay at Gigg Lane as well, got beat 3-2.
