Too many to mention, but one was John Chiedozie vs
Preston in the early 80’s. He was wonderful that day. A more recent one would be David Mooney at Posh in 2014/15. 3-1 win, he scored 2 and hit the bar with one that would have been goal of the season. He was brilliant that day.

Surely a private matter? What goes on in the bedroom should remain there?

About 3 posts for the 3-3 Gillingham game, but my recollection was that we were gash for 75 minutes.

We were, but Locky was immense and its about an individuals performance. It has to be up there in the annals of our history as one of the best performances by an O.

Jackson st Ipswich was also immense.

Another game against Gillingham that ended 3-3 but more recent this time and during Liverani's reign. We were 3-1 down and Darius Henderson came on as sub and changed the game. Probably his best performance for us although there was not many.

Was at the game, one of my memories was Mooney scoring just as the announcer was giving out the Boro goal

Top of the JES wrote: Mon Dec 14, 2020 11:55 am John Jackson in the FA Cup quarter final at Ayresome Park 1978. Middlesbrough camped in our half for almost the entire 90 minutes, JJ got in the way of everything and in the last minute when it seemed we had weathered the storm managed to tip over a 30 yard piledriver that seem destined for the top corner he was unbelievable that day.

Also an honourable mention for Ricky Otto at Brentford on his debut he was absolutely electric that day.
Was there! I remember the replay, so tense, Boro pressing so high up the pitch

Certain players epitomize our club Lockwood being one of them.
One of the finest halves of football by any player I've seen; but my dad will never let me forget I said he should have been hacked off at half time to go 3 at the back. He literally brought it up a week ago.

Too right he should, what were you thinking?!

Probably one of the only times I've ever left a game and been a bit in shock at what I'd witnessed. He was unbelievable, but then he always was. We've been very lucky to have the likes of him and Cox choose to stay for so long when they could have clearly moved on. Locky that night was just ridiculous, that was a Premier League performance from him.
