Obviously the big story in football world last night was
Middlesbrough's victory over Manchester United, but you may have missed this about the game:
The
10,000 travelling Boro fans at Old Trafford shone their mobile phones lights in a show of support for Teesside steel workers.
SSI's Redcar plant was mothballed, with the loss of 2,200 jobs, after its Thai-based owner went into liquidation.
The closure of the
coke ovens and blast furnace ended 98 years of production.
Brilliant this, well in 'boro fans, nice touch. As we said tanks to barnsley for stones and holgate though, we still want to beat you
