When Bruce Rioch gave Owen the No12 shirt, he had worn the No12 shirt earlier in the season when Boro travelled to Halifax for a 2nd round, 2nd leg cup tie
Boro can count themselves unlucky to not get anything out of the game, though as often was the case that season we were struggling withPallister gone & now Mogga is out of the team, along with Trevor Putney & Davenport missing we had a sort of weaker team, with Paul Kerr, after a lengthy injury, starting only his 2nd game of the season
1989-90 was a stop, start season, wembley apart, which seen us nose dive after the new year, as the mighty Boro headed towards the relegation trap door
We had started new year with a traditional NYD defeat, at home to bottom club Stoke, beat Sunderland 3-0 the following week & now Sheffield United who were riding high in the 2nd divison
In the 2nd half manager Bruce brought on Owen McGee for Mark Brennan & was almost responsible for Bernie, or kernaghan, to force home an equaliser, he played in a great ball, but neither took up the opportunity & the chance was gone
Bruce's team
