Appearances as a playing substitute. League - FA Cup - League Cup - Uefa Cup.

Substitutions were first permitted at the start of season 1965/66 but were only allowed for the replacement of an injured player and not for tactical reasons. It would seem that Middlesbrough did not abuse this facility in that of the first 15 substitutions the player taken off did not even make the starting line up for the next game. The first time a substituted player plays in the next game is after the 16th. substitution when John O'Rourke is substituted at Chester in the F.A.Cup and then plays in the next match, a Division 3 league game at Torquay.

SUBBED SUBSTITUTE Since the introduction of two substitutes it has happened on a number of occasions where one substitute has replaced another. In December 1989 the Boro played Leicester at home and ran out 4-1 winners. During the course of the game Stuart Ripley substituted Alan Kernaghan only to go off injured himself and be replaced by Mark Burke. Ripley's 21 minutes on the pitch were not unproductive in that he managed to score Boro's 3rd. goal. At the end of the season this turned out to be his one and only goal of the entire 1989/90 campaign.
