Don't recall Wade or Briggs

Gary Briggs didn't make any first-team appearances for the Boro when he was transferred to Oxford United,, it was to be the 1st ever transfer tribunal
Briggs spent eleven years at Oxford & was a big favourite there, think they named a stand after him

Don't recall Wade or Briggs
