Alan Offsick?

[Cliffy]

Talking to my friend about old Boro players and got onto talking about Alan Boksic' and he said to me that he got nicknamed Offsick, i can't really remember back then i was young, but was the nickname true?

Seems to ring a bell Cliffy though I always preferred to see him playing as he was a bloody good player saw him score some wonderful goals will always remember Leicester away when TLF chipped in with a fantastic goal...yes nostalgia those were the days etc etc.

Move on look ahead and lets get behind our present team now as i am sure we will witness many more terrific goals and hey who knows what will happen and hopefully our perenial offsick Thommo and Zemamma will prove their worth!

He used to also get called Alan Tampax - 'in for 1 week, out for 3'

I remember him falling over a blade of grass when he was put through 1 on 1 with the keeper. I think it was against Liverpool.
But he was a fantastic striker when he wanted to be

I was at Leicester that day, best Boro goal I've seen, also hence the name
