We were top scorers with 106 & finished 7th because only 2 teams conceded more goals than us (85). IIRC we actually played Boro, home & away in a short period of time & won 5-4 away then drew 6-6 as you say at ER. At the time Joe Baker & a certain Brian Clough were in competition for the England #9 spot but Joe blew him away over the 2 games. I was fortunate enough to meet Cloughie in a pub in Blackpool a few years later, I think he'd just retired & was managing Hartlepool. He swore blind he was better than Joe (Aye right!) but he was a great guy, talked football & bought drinks for 2 young, skint Scots boys all night.
