This day 1990 away to Brighton & that man again, Bernie Slaven

Scored his 5th Boro & penultimate hattrick as the Boro ran out 4-2 winners at the Goldstone ground, Ian Baird getting the other goal, Bernies hattrick was our 32nd away & our 124th since joining the football league in 1899

This took Bernies goal tally of the season to 7, with Ian Baird on 4 goals, throughout that season we were virtually unbeaten away, scoring goals for fun, put struggled at home, losing out in the players to our present managers Notts County

I went to this game, a great home journey, totally opposite to the previous season when I went on the supporters coach at a gale blowing 1-0 defeat

Ironically his final Boro hattrick was at home to Brighton the following season
