		Will Mannion was an icon on Teesside who perfected the body swerve while it was still illegal in some states.
		The Mannion Match is still the stuff of legend in Middlesbrough, when his awesome display was attributed to his desire to show off to his fiancée, who was watching him for the first time.
		Peter Beardsley's contribution can never be captured in statistics (as his rather shabby statistics show), as he was a player fellow strikers loved to play alongside.
