RIPJust read the sad news former Boro striker David Shearer has passed away aged just 63.
Scorer of the first goal I ever saw live in a 1-0 victory over Liverpool in the 1979/80 season.
Met him at a Former Players dinner in 2017 at The Riverside, where he was resplendent in full Scottish regalia including kilt. Great character. RIP Sheikh.
I'd never have recognized him from that picture alone.
Shock to hear ... too young ... wasnt a suttle bone in his body when he was on the pitch ... eye for goal and head down blast it in
