Is that also a reference to Peter Brine?

 

[Billyzin]

Such sad news.
he'll be fondly remembered by those of us who fortunate enough to see him play.
RIP big man.

Very sad news, centre half in the best Boro team in my lifetime.

RIP Mr Boam.

I don’t think so.

Stuart and Willy will be stood shoulder to shoulder today, as they always were, at Ayresome-in-the-Sky. Sad day for all Boro fans, and for those who are too young to have seen these two in action, you missed a treat.

Remiss of me not to include Jim Platt. He was an integral member of the defence

And Craggsy!

Or the quote from a match report in the Guardian back in the day..............."Platt, Spraggon, Craggs, Boam & Maddren...........saying their names is like chewing a mouthful of iron filings".

Yes, the onomatopoeiacally intimidating back-four [suited the Tees mouth] from 73-74.

RIP Stuart.

RIP Stuey, a great footballer. I was gutted when he signed for Newcastle.

 

[Craggyjohn]

Captain of my 1st Boro game. Can remember him lobbing the ball over Jim Platt for a cracking own goal.
RIP Skipper

You're welcome. It is, just had to look up palimpsest.

One thing is for certain, it’ll be a nightmare to get through the pearly gates if Boam and Maddren are defending them.

Well before my time, but the captain of what is probably Boro’s greatest modern XI. Hope the travelling Boro faithful give one of our true greats the tribute he deserves tonight. RIP Stuey.

Stuey and madden were a brilliant defence ,boam one of my childhood heroes,rip

 

[since1970]

When his best days were behind him he was a £100k makeweight on top of the £375 grand we spent on Irving Nattrass - who even at that fee still couldn't lace Stuey Boam's boots!

A sad, sad, day.

 

[bungydinsdale]

C'mon lads win today's game fir Stuey.

 

[Gordy1000]

This is really terrible news. Loved big Stuey. Him and Maddren were superb together.

Totally agree - they complemented each other - RIP Stuey
