EDITORS COMMENTS
Donald Burluraux, a talented A Level student hailing from North Skelton, had double cause for celebration recently. On his 17th birthday (8th June), he received the ultimate gift as he officially signed on as a full-time professional with Middlesbrough FC. This photo, taken on Tuesday 11th June 1968, captures Donald's beaming smile and undeniable excitement at this momentous achievement. Don's journey to this point has been nothing short of remarkable. Last season, he showcased his exceptional skills while playing for Middlesbrough Juniors and even earned representative honors with the esteemed North Riding team. As an inside forward, Don possesses a natural flair that promises to make him an invaluable asset to Ayresome Park. Football runs deep in Don's family roots; his father Fred Burluraux was once a professional player with Hartlepool before the war. Additionally, his late grandfather Jack Burluraux was widely recognized as a prominent sportsman in Cleveland. It seems talent truly does run in their bloodline. As we eagerly anticipate Don's official reporting date of 1st July at Ayresome Park, let us celebrate this young prodigy who is poised to leave an indelible mark on Middlesbrough FC and the world of football itself.
