Strange Boro facts you come across that you never, ever knew

[TheBoroBuzzard]

I had to Google it when someone mentioned it, as I had never heard it before.

3rd April 1915 - Boro v Oldham was abandoned after 55 minutes, when a Oldham player was sent off, but refused to leave the pitch @Erimus74, did you know this fact?

What I would like to know is how bad the fouls must of been to get sent off in them days. I have seen clips of old footie matches and they kick the hell out of each other and don't get a free kick. Must of had full on bareknuckle scrap to get sent off

A depressing well known fact for me is that of all the years in the Premier league and World class players that we've had, britt assombalonga is our record signing.

M.A.F.C.

is the A for Athletic?

why have we never been known as Middlesbrough Athletic ?

even since 1986 the clubs official business title is Middlesbrough Football & Athletic Company

@Erimus74 can you check the letter head on mail from Ayresome Park for the clubs title, please?

sunlun are SAFC, but in their case the A stands for Association, and they use it as such.
