I was at that game Diggerman. One of the Boro players (John Craggs?) did himself an injury right in front of us in the old Leazes. He managed to slide his face into the cinders behind the goal, and had to be revived by the physio. He ended up playing the rest of the game with a massive bandage on his head if I recall correctly. It was the first time I'd seen Boro play, and we took my cousin with us who supported Boro. He wouldn't come in the Leazes with us, even though he would have been alright, and went in with the Boro supporters, who were housed in the paddock of the old West Stand. When we got home he told my Aunty C that we had left him ... fuck sake, I was only 11 myself, and he was 13.
