No, he doesn't play for Boro, nor has he ever played for any other team than Grimsby Town FC - but John McDermott was born in Middlesbrough and deserves a quick nod for an amazing achievement in today's game: Tuesday night's fixture against Spurs marked the 36 year old defender's 700th game! All of them for one team, Grimsby Town!! And what a way to celebrate - causing the shock defeat of the night in the Carling cup 2nd round by beating a dismal Tottenham side 1-0. JM himself described it as the greatest victory in his time at the club, and that goes back to 1987! Great that in a time when Chelsea can pay over £50m for two players that characters like John are still around. Well done, sir! And maybe a tie against the Boro to look forward to next round as a reward... # posted by Name: Kirk Bage Born 1973, UK Writer & Actor : 5:00 pm
