Were you there when this happened

He spoilt football and watching Boro for me.

I've never seen a player cause so much excitement and anticipation in the crowd when he got the ball.

The fact he was so small and yet played with the heart of a lion just made me love him even more.

I knew then, like I know now, that I'll never watch a Boro player that will give me such pure unadulterated joy as he did.

NE corner. Could just about see it through the cigarette smoke thar was a permanent cloud around me in those days. Not from me, but I think me and my Dad were the only ones who didn't smoke within a 10 seat radius in all directions

I sat there too that season and one of my abiding memories apart from the football was the constant fog from the old man in front who had a pipe, then when I went to Wembley someone behind us was dropping cigarette butts which rolled down and burned a hole through my Boro tracksuit top. Maybe that's why I never took up the habit when so many teenage friends did!
