thats all the info you need to know this man was a legend and will forever be remembered. i signed a petition only 4 weeks ago to get him knighted
his record for us was outstanding and deserves a statue or some tribute outside our ground.
1 thing that hasnt been noted is that i remember reading once that after a boro away game we had drew 6 all and cloughie had scored 4 if not all 6 goals for us. the rest of the team were happy to get a draw after considing 6 however cloughie was pissed off that after scoring the amount he did, the defence had let him down by considing so many.
as the story goes he was kicked off the team coach and forced to make his own way home!
RIP TO A MIDDLESBROUGH SCORING LEGEND
