| Bernie Slaven was so desperate
to play football, that he wrote to every First and Second Division club in the hope of a trial. Willie Maddren liked
what he saw and signed the Scot for a bargain of £25,000. Bernie was to be top scorer six seasons running from 1986 - a
remarkable feat as he seemed unable to master the offside rule! After being out of favour and playing for Port Vale and
Darlington, "The Living Legend" is back on Teesside commentating on Boro's games for Century Radio.
