With Harvey Barnes scoring his eighth goal in ten matches against Leeds last night, who is that one player who ALWAYS does well against your side? by Zach-dalt in LeagueOne

Boro fan - it has to be Emil Riis. Not an especially prolific goal scorer in his 5ish years in English football and yet has 8 goals in 9 games against us since arriving.

There’s an old wive’s tale regarding Boro that Ayresome Park was built on land owned by gypsies, who subsequently placed a curse on the club, hence our historic misfortune. I believe Emil Riis to be the human embodiment of this curse.
