Dad saw his last game when he was 82. I remember him crying at the end in Cardiff. But he was adamant that this was the best performance of any player in a Boro shirt.A few older relatives have told me about this and I'm not sure I believed them at the time - its just incredible
Who scored the other 2? Fenton got a hat trick in that game as well. It reminds me of the time Stan Mortensen scored the last hat trick in an FA Cup Final ( record still stands from 1953) but they will always refer to that game as the Matthews Final

Had some sort of health and safety job checking fire extinguishers.Sad that. I remember seeing him at D Long/British Steel either Lackenby or Cleveland around that time. Reckon the previous time I saw Wilf I was on my dad's shoulders at Ayresome Park.
