Ayresome Angels - The Boys of '67

 Hillstreet are once more delighted to support BBC Tees Radio personality and Boro Football commentator Alastair Brownlee as he and co author Gordon Cox launched their new book 'Ayresome Angels - The boys of 67' here in Hillstreet on Wednesday 22nd October at 12 noon.

The book is set to become another favourite amongst Boro fans both young and old following the success of other Linthorpe Publishing titles - Voice of the Boro, The Class of 86 and The Road to Eindhoven.

Boro's lowest point in history saw them begin the 1966/67 season in the third division after relegation a year earlier. Now you can read the inspirational story of the season as the 'Boys of 67' fired Boro to an unforgettable promotion at the first time of asking.

A foreword from manager Stan Anderson precedes a detailed first hand account from the heros of the hour as players Willie Whigham, Geoff Butler, Don Masson, Dickie Rooks, Billy Horner, Dave Chadwick, John Hickton, John O'Rourke, Eric McMordie, Derrick Downing, Arthur Horsfield and Bill Gates tell their fascinating stories.

There are priceless memories from Radio Ayresome's very own Bernard Gent and invaluable club secretary Harry Green with a reporter's view of the time with Ray Robertson.

Add that to special fan memories and a packed statistics section covering every detail of the campaign and you have a truly unique compilation in 'Ayresome Angels'
