That was a great line up we had back then.

Seeing Willie Maddren looking so fit and well actually brought a lump to my throat there.

Boro's best ever defender

Newcastle can't have been playing, and some of their fans came to watch - as a lot of people singing 'Howay the lads'

We used to sing that in the holgate? (Well thats what it sounded like to me) but not how the mackems sing it faster

Were still singing it well into the 80s
I remember some Boro fans then replying 'They're Geordie songs' to the same tune

 

[Davey_C]

I started going to games in 89

Ho'way the lads, ho'way the lads, ho'way the lads ... ho'way

Where as the mackems just sing ho'way the lads (faster and faster)
