With Wembley on the horizon, home night match, history in the making, one step & it's the sight of the twin towers in the distance
Man Utd are the visitors to Ayresome Park, a team we have crossed swords with a few times in the 70's, who were always a division higher than us, this time the roles are reversed, Man Utd are the leaders of the 2nd division, with the mighty Boro flying high in the top tier
Boro must start favourites in this tie, especially after defeating Liverpool at Anfield in the previous round 1-0 with a goal from the late, great Willie Maddren
A massive attendance of 36,005 seen a good cup tie with Alex Stepney playing a blinder in the United goal to be the score at 0-0 & a replay at OT
