Saturday Ray Parlour played his first official game for Middlesbrough, and got a draw and a yellow card for his efforts. As predicted on Parlour Watch weeks ago, Ray played in shirt number 15, just as he did while at Arsenal. The Arsenal 15 shirt is currently without an owner, but we doubt that it will stay sacred like Tony Adams number 6 shirt!

There were some problems with downloading Parlour's FA final 2002 goal, but if you do it via the lovely, but sadly un-updated, Ray Parlour tribute page, it should be possible - it's in the Ray FA cup special section!

The next Boro game will bring Ray back to his football home of 11 years, as they travel to London and Highbury. A warm applause should be ensured for the Romford Romario!
