Started his 13th game of his short career to date at the mighty Boro unaware of what he was about to achieve

Dave Armstrong made 12 appearences between April 1972 to 27th January 1973 when then a gap of missing 7 games & on the 24th March 1973 DA started at home to Vila in a 1-1 draw & what followed is truly remarkable, playing every single league & Cup game, including 99% of friendlies, to the 6th September 1980 at home to Forest in a 0-0 draw

A phenomenal 356 consecutive games, including countless friendlies, ASC, that will probably never be beaten, what a player & record, a remarkable player who should have regularly played for England, how he didn't us criminal

Stan Anderton team v Villa on the date a tremendous record was started

Looks like MFC were reading FMTTM this morning!

They've put a quiz on too.

When you look at DA's run, then check on between 1973-1980 the friendlies he played in its amazing how little rest he got between each game, each season really

I'd be in my element doing a this day for the Boro site
 
One day short of one year later, DA scored the goal that took us back to the top flight for the 1st time in 20 seasons
 
too young to see that team play, but what a line up it was - and to play all them games, not a chance anyone would be able to match that record or come close - imagine if he was an England regular too how many more games he might had added to his tally
 
A great servant and a top player. It baffles me, that in football today a lot of managers and some fans agree, that players need a rest and can only play in a handful of consequentlve games, just sheer nonsense for me.
