Being as there is not much else happening today, I thought some of you might enjoy seeing how many of this motley crew that you can name. It will be a walk in the park for those of a certain vintage (i.e, me), but one of them was always a peripheral to the first team so perhaps not so...

Cracking stuff.

Charlton v Southend from 1975, with Arthur Horsfield at CH for Charlton just before his move to Watford, and Alan Moody No. 6 for Southend, two years into setting an appearance record for them. On ITV4.

Bill Gates wife, Judith posted this on Twitter w few minutes ago. I thought some of the older hands on here who, like me remember Bill playing for the Boro might be interested. Bill has been suffering from 'football related dementia' for a few years now. Dr. Judith Gates co-founded Head For...

I posted these yesterday morning on Erimus74's thread about hat tricks, but thought to post them again today for the weekday crew who probably did not see them. I took them from John's scrapbooks when I interviewed him in 2006. I had never seen before or since the full squad photograph with...

One of the more bizarre slices of old Teesside film on the internet, a mix of Yugoslavian dancers, working mens clubs with old school karaoke with organ/drums accompaniment, bingo, street scenes and industrial shots. It was posted earlier today by the BBC archive on their Facebook page. It does...

Following on from Erimus74's post about Pete Brine's goal after 20 seconds against Arsenal, for some reason it brought to mind a question I put in a Boro quiz once that foxed a few people who know their stuff. So - can anyone name the three Brazilians who have scored for Boro against Arsenal...

An article from the weekend mostly comprising quotes from Bill's wife Judith on her husband's dementia, caused it is believed by heading 100's of footballs every day in training: "A computer is like a brain but I wouldn't use my iPad as a squash racket."...

This one covers his sending off when playing for England, his reasons for retiring from playing while at the Boro, scoring at both ends in a New Years Day League match while at the Boro, and reflections on Don Masson, Jimmy Lawson, John O'Rourke and John Hickton.

There was a thread recently on the old site about unusual memorabilia. A recent thread on here had me delving into some old Boro stuff and I found this t-shirt...
