Let’s get some positivity onto the board.

At the age of 10 my parents bought me my first season ticket in 1995 and I’ve had it ever since. I suppose I’ve been very lucky with the era of football i have seen. The cup win. European nights. Amazing players so it was very hard to pick 3 but from a personal perspective:-
  1. Cup final win. Amazing day. Would love to relive it without the pressure.
  2. Steau semi final. Incredible atmosphere.
  3. Man City away when Fowler missed the penalty in 90 minute and we got back into Europe. Boro fans went crazy. Brilliant day out.

UTB

Steaua game and the cup final win are the obvious standouts.

But I’d honestly put the football we played last season, January onwards especially, amongst some of my most enjoyable times in 30 years following Boro.

Agreed. It was brilliant. The club and the fan base were so strong together as well.
 
Absolutely 29/2/2004. In terms of good feeling.

2. Getting to the FA Cup Final - semi win v Chesterfield

3. Getting to the UEFA Cup Final v Steau
 
1) That moment as a kid where you walk up the steps from the Ayresome Park "concourse" to the back of the stand on a night match and see the green grass of the pitch illuminated by the floodlights.
2) Sitting in the back of my parents' car on the way home from the Boro beating Norwich in 1976 and hearing the theme tune to Sports Report and knowing that we were top of Division One.
3) Ian Baird's performance (and donkey ear gesture) in the unlikely 4-1 win over promotion-chasing Newcastle to pretty much save us from relegation.

Good shout. My first match was a night match and the only thing I actually remember is coming up the steps and thinking how green the grass looked.

Port vale, got beat 3-2. A Tuesday night some time around 1990.
 
In no particular order - and not picking the obvious ones

1. The Newcastle 4-1 in 1990. Had to win to guarantee staying up, battered them second half.

2. Winning at OT in 1999. Man Us only defeat at home in their treble winning season. Sat in their North Stand surrounded by Man U fans almost crying. Lovely.

3. Bernie's equaliser in the Rumbelows Cup Semi at OT in 1992. The surge down the terrace, ended up about 20 ft away from my brother and mates. Absolute carnage, happy days.
 
Going to add

Our game at Hartlepool against Port Vale 1986. To think how close we came to disappearing.
Probably my biggest buzz was our first visit to Wembley Zenith Data Final. Remember walking out of concourse to my seat my head started spinning just being there. Wembley meant something back then.

Bit of joke like. I would really say the Brighton game at home is 3rd 😁

You've already picked 3.
Steau and Basel can't count as one moment surely?

Almost impossible to pick only 3 moments.
At the moment I'm going for:
- Final whistle after the goalless draw against Wigan in 87.
- Terry Cochrane scoring the equaliser against Wolves in the 81 QF.
- Ravanelli scoring at Wembley.

I'll probably change them tomorrow. Or in an hour.
 
Man Utd away 1972 - 0-0 - Best, Law and Charlton….
Just a dream to ever to think, as a young school kid, I’d see George Best play in the flesh.

Luton away 1974 to seal promotion under Big Jack

Walking out at the Riverside for that first home match v Chelsea
 
1. Like goalscrounger, I have great memories of Ayresome Park. The 8-0 drubbing of Sheff Wed in the promotion season was awesome, for instance.
2. 29/2/2004
3. Brighton home game in 2016.
 
1 walking on the sacred grass of Ayresome Park after beating Oxford 4- 1 with my dad and all the pandemonium
that went with it that night.
2 Watching my beloved Boro play here in Oz watching in amazement as the fans of clubs from all over England celebrated
Boro goals as much as I did. ( English fans more than happy to see the aussies lose no matter who or what the opposition )
3 To return to England to pick up my dad and to fulfill our dream of seeing our beloved Boro play at Wembley in an FA Cup Final.
