I visited briefly on my way to Ukraine. I didn’t see much of the town but the people were very kind. I got a lift from the airport into town from a stranger and another lift to the station. Both were just because I asked for directions.
I’m honestly shocked at that there’s any debate on Dimi and Travers.
Dimi had a good record because of what was in front of him. You could argue he’s a Boro legend but he was an average goalkeeper. Travers has been superb despite what’s in front of him.
No doubt about that but peak Emerson was about 10 games. He never got a cap even when Brazil used to throw them about like confetti. Boateng was consistently excellent for us for six years. I know who I’d have and it isn’t even close. I’m sure we’d never have gone down with Boateng in the 96/97...
There was a young barmaid from Sale
On her breasts were the prices of ale
And on her behind
For the sake of the blind
Was the same information in braille
