Middlesbrough in Utd shirts v City

[Gary James]

We've done it twice, red/black in a daytime game and all maroon v them in yellow in an evening one.

Yes we did. You’d think after the first Spurs would think to pack their other kit, but no they didn’t!

Didnt we also wear our away shirts at home to spurs in the 80s ?

Yes - twice. I’ll get an article posted about this on my site at some point. Thanks for reminding me.

And won both games 2-1.
We should do it again on Thursday!

I was in the Kippax for the Boro game aged 13, and had completely forgotten about them wearing the utd kit. The vids brought back some nice memories.

Ironically it was that awful decision taken by City to wear next seasons away kit at the last home game of the 2004 / 05 season which was v Middlesborough in what was a UEFA Cup play off final.
A decision that not one fan approved of - yet when I wrote to either Alistair Mackintosh or Sara Billington about it, specifically asking who suggested / supported that decision the reply I received said it was "supported by everyone including the manager".
Truly woeful decision.

It was a pure merchandise promotion. I was in the HoD meeting the following Monday when a few of us were critical. Maybe one day I’ll write about those meetings. Lots of odd stuff used to happen!

Vaguely remember we had to wear Barnsley’s shorts away at Oakwell. Lost 2-0 circa ‘96. We were absolute dogshit
