St Paddys Day 2001, Boro travel to The Sports Direct Arena deep in the relegation do-do but under the increasingly steadying hand of Teesside Tel.
In front of fifty thousand deluded ones plus around fifteen hundred cultured southerners Boros moody Croatian hit man Alen Boksic scored two great goals to give Boro a memorable first win at St James Park for 10 years.
Before the end of the game, Carl Cort (whom Bobby Robson accidentally signed from Wombledon instead of John Barnes or summat) pulls a goal back for Newcastle, Nolberto "Nobby" Solano misses a penalty and Boros answer to Leonardo Di Caprio, Phil Stamp gets sent off for pointing out to Robert Lee that Middlesbrough is actually closer to London than Newcastle is....yerjokinarnyer?
