Boro player to start a 1st team match for the mighty Boro then never seen again, during my time following the Boro from 1971

Tom Patterson played his only game wearing the No9 shirt, when standing in for Alan Willey, at home to Birmingham 14th december 1974 in a 3-0 win

Today the 3rd March 1981 wearing the No7 shirt, in the absence of Terry Cochrane, Colin Blackburn played the full 90 minutes in a 1-0 away defeat at Forest

Ted (or Teddy) Coleman is a local lad who was probably second only to Mark Proctor in local “schoolboy football” legend. I think he went to Southlands.
