The Robbo revolution started this day

[Erimus74]

On the 13th of August 1994 with a home fixture v Burnley

With league debuts given to Alan Miller (RIP) signed from Arsenal, registered No641, our 1st £1m transfer Neil Cox from Aston Villa, registered No642, Nigel Pearson signed from Sheff Weds registered No643, Clayton Blackmore, signed from Man Utd, registered No644 & Robbo himself, registered No645, starting out as player manager (IIRC our 4th player manager behind Andy Aitken who was the 1st, Stan Anderson was a player coach, the 1st in our history, big Jack kept his registration as a player & turned out in a few reserve games & Robbo himself)

We also welcomed "back home" in the visitors camp, ex Boro 1986 legend, 'Gary Parkinson'

John Hendrie started the season & our final season at Ayresome Park, as he finished, by scoring a brace as the mighty Boro started the campaign & Robbos reign, with a 2-0 win infront of 23,343 fans

Used to love my “season ticket” like that. Actual human beings on the turnstile to take your voucher… feels like a long, long time ago!

I met Robbo in Eddie's, a late night drinking hole in Rusholme with Gordon Mcqueen and Kevin Moran, an absolute gent, after a United game. We were both a bit merry. I said to Robbo that he should sign for Boro and he said you never know son. A week later he was paraded as our manager in his shorts and jacket. UTB.
