    During September 2000 Boro call up no fewer than 4 goalkeepers.

    Mark Schwarzer starts the season as regular keeper but then Gary Walsh has to take over in goal.for a league game at Manchester City. However the next game is a League Cup tie and Walsh, who is here on loan, does not want to be cup tied. Young Chris Bennion plays his only ever Boro game for the first leg of the cup tie against Macclesfield. Walsh returns for a Premier League game against Aston Villa and then Mark Crossley is signed and plays in the return League Cup game at Macclesfield. Walsh returns for a league game at Southampton but has to be substituted by Crossley who holds the position for another five games until Schwarzer returns.

9 September - Everton [H] Schwarzer

17 September - Man. City [A] - Walsh

19 September - Macclesfield L.Cup [H] - Bennion
