This day 1982 - Not a good day at the office, in fact, pretty awful

[Erimus74]

27/11/1982
Boro flashback - Boro 1 Blackburn 5

I was in the south terrace, chicken run, along with erimus senior 40 years ago today
Whoever was there that day will have witnessed Noel Brotherson, RIP, absolutely torture us from kick off, we were on the end of a few thumpings that season

3 down within 25 minutes & 4 down at HT

Yellow rose before the game, a few beers then a 5 minute walk to Ayresome Park

Attendance: 10,821

Dispite the grim times back then between 1981 to 1986 I still look back with fondness on those days supporting & following the Boro to away games

IMHO, big Mal was good for us, dragging us away from a consecutive relegation

Am I right, that was one of three 5-0 or 5-1 results, including one against Grimsby Town.
I recall we slumped to a crowd of around 5000 during that dreadful period of our history.
Holgate felt like a mortuary

 

[Midnight to Six Man]

I was in the seats behind the goal , right in line with Noel Brotherstones screamer

 

[Funky_Chicken]

Noel certainly did have a field day that afternoon against us. We took a few beatings that season, at home especially.

Our first 3 home games that season were 4-1 defeats, including Grimsby.
The others were Burnley and Fulham.

The Blackburn defeat was followed by a 4-0 defeat at Wolves

I made reference to this game on the 'An experiment to try and prove a point' thread earlier this morning. Genuinely didn't realise it was exactly 40 years ago today!

 

[Midnight to Six Man]

Just read on twitter he ended up being a painter and decorater in Blackburn.
Sadly he died of a heart attack aged 38 .
Blimey

There was actually a bit of quality in that team but it didn’t quite fire properly.

Ah the Yellow Rose. Think my nan would have been behind the bar around that time.

38 blimey, knew he was young, but not that young

I remember the following season they beat us 2-1 & he was outsanding in that game too

Sorry 1970, didnt see that

I dont think anything would have changed the course of the club heading to that awful day of the 21st May 1986, we were, come what may, destined to end up in liquidation

£3.50 Match seat ticket

Probably the biggest defeat match ticket I own

Less than that on a few occasions

Ray Hankin was signed this season

Sent off on his debut at home to Grimsby in a 4-1 defeat

Only scored 3 goals
one in the league, one in the League cup, against his 1st club Burnley & FAC
