So dispiriting to hear Boro fans booing when players take the knee. Visitors must have their every suspicion of Teesside being a cultural backwater confirmed. Lindy was our first black player
If Lindy Delapenha came back
sporting red and white,
striding by the old Tees Dock
on such a freezing night,
his tears would drop as icicles
at such a sickening sight
as the faithful booing a gesture
that just says, "Mate, you're alright."
