23/03/1974 Boro 1 Oxford 0.
David Armstrong, who started his amazing consecutive run on 24th March 1973, one day short of a full year, when he scored his 4th goal of the season & the only goal of the game & amazingly, with 7 games remaining, secured promotion back to the 1st Division
The mighty Boro had made it back after 20 years out out of the top flight
Between 1954 & 1974, the Boro had Walter Rowley who took us down
1952-1954, Bob Dennison
1954-1963, Raich Carter 1963-1966
Stan Anderson 1966-1973
Big Jack
Harold Shepherdson had 2 stints as caretaker manager
A crowd of 26,877 saw the soon to be champions gain the required points to guarantee promotion & what Boro fans, home & around the world, had been waiting for since going joint top when, on the 29th September, the Boro beat then leaders Bristol City 2-0
All these years later we're still remembering the 1973-74 team with such affection
Boro team:
Jim Platt
John Craggs
Frank Spraggon
Graeme Souness
Stuey Boam
Willie Maddren
Bobby Murdoch
David Mills
John Hickton
Alan Foggon
David Armstrong
Sub - Peter Brine
