This might be a little bit more tricky than it first seems. There were a lot of matches between Wolves and the Boro during John Craggs time at the club but we think we’ve got it right.
Month and year?
Score and scorer/s?
Name of Wolves’ player?
Name of the Boro’s number 6 and, while contracted to us, which other professional team did he play for?
Who signed Craggsy and what was the fee, a club record at the time we think?
Name of last professional club Craggsy played for?6846C749-4A74-440B-A75C-CC32497057BE.jpegNo googling. You must attempt all questions, 10 answers altogether.
16 Strongly Flavoured FNOM points available to the winner. Good luck.
 
I think it is an away game from 1980 v Wolves with 2 late goals by Hodgson in 2-0 win. I think no 6 is Irving Nattrass but I dont remember him going to America. Dont know Wolves player -but Mel Eves was always a pain so I'll agree with that.

Stan Anderson bought Craggs from Newcastle - I know it was a record fee but not allowed to look up exact amount so I'll guess £75000 and his last team was Darlow.
 
Junos Some brilliant stuff in those answers, 6 right. Thanks for taking it in the correct spirit and not googling.
Subbuteo The new rules, clearly shown in the terms and conditions of entry, say we are not allowed to comment unless you provide at least 30pc of the answers. Apologies.
 
Ok, not that anyone is particularly interested but we’ve started so we’ll finish.
March 1980, 2-0 Boro, Dave Hodgson 2
Mel Eves
Alan Ramage, Yorkshire CCC
Stan Anderson, £60,000, Darlington
Point go to junos boots. Getting the actual match was outstanding.
 
I can remember that I hate Mel Eves but I can't remember why lol? Did he score the goal that beat us in that infamous FA Cup tie maybe?
 
In that photo Craggs is still upright after receiving what lookslike a karate chop to the throat. Nowadays a player would be rolling around on the grass, clutching his face. He was as hard as nails.
