Peter Brine celebrates his 68th birthday today, one of big Jacks No12's along with Malcolm Smith

Peter was registered No492 when, on the 7th October 1972, manager Stan Anderson handed Peter the number 12 shirt in our home game v Millwall, which the Boro won 1-0, courtecy of a Willie Maddren goal, PB replaced Gordon Jones, wearing No11, in the 2nd half for his debut

PM made another appearence as sub away to Cardiff City in a 2-0 defeat then on the 20th January 1973 he made his full debut wearing the No8 shirt at home to QPR, Graeme Souness's home debut, the game ended goals

Played under 3 managers, scoring one of the quickets goals at AP when he bagged the opening goal v Arsenal after 20 seconds in a 3-0 win, 4 days before we thumped them again in the FAC, this time 4-1

Between 1972 - 1977 he went on to make 94 appearences, scoring 8 goals, sadly on the 10th September 1977 at home to Birmingham, Billy Ashcrofts scoring home debut, was to be PB's final Boro game, due to a lingering knee injury his time at the mighty Boro as over

I liked PB's time at the Boro, IIRC, his team weer Charlton so it was a dream to, not only make his debut v Millwall, but to beta them also, as he considered them Charltons rivals

Met PB at a former 73-74 reunion, wheile also speak regularly on FB
