You forget how young Platt was when he first started playing regularly for us.

I loved that Adidas kit, I had the white away shirt.

I loved Jim Platt.
Does he still live in the area? I used to see him regularly back in the day watching a lot of Sunday league stuff.

I've also been in his company when he came to The Tiger with Terry Cochrane. Always come over well and got time for everyone.

He does indeed Heine and is a councillor for the Kader ward I believe.

Happy birthday Jim

Registered No486 when Jim made his Boro debut on the 2nd October 1971 in a 1-0 home win over Blackpool in a 2nd divison fixture

Jim became the 35th 1st team GK, he went on to play 468 games for the mighty Boro, with his final appearence on the 11th January 1982 away to Bishop Stortford in a 3rd round FAC replay, we won 2-1

My 2nd away game he saved a penalty v Sheff Weds, IIRC, he saved a 2nd but they scored from the rebound

He was also enjoyed playing upfront, No9 in this teamsheet

Bumped into him at York races once. He was more than happy to have a chat about the Boro.
