That fact doesn't stand anymore, Ryan Giggs has also captained GB. I think there's been a few over the years.

But we still have a claim to fame with this as well as let’s not forget he first captained team GB at the riverside.

I knew Giggs had captained the 2012 Olympic GB team, I don't think that's the same as a "pro" side as when they play in the Olympics they aren't paid? I don't think there have been any others, we've never fielded an Olympic side since.

Anyway George Hardwick (for it was he) captained England whilst playing for us. Are we counting players that captained England but not whilst playing for us?

 

[Jedi boro]

Oh yes any player that captained England that Also player for the Boro in their careers.

So Bryan robson counts as does paul ince.

Goalkeeper, Tim 'Tiny' Williamson, played 602 games for the Boro & a Boro captain, played in an England v Ireland, February 1905, the 1st International played at Ayresome Park, the game ended 1-1 with Tim Williamson becoming the 1st England keeper to score an OG
He is also the only Boro keeper to score for the Boro 1st team, scoring 2 penalties

Did he captain the side as well then?

No Cardiff, just realised I read it wrong, as a Boro captain playing for England, my mistake, sorry

Gareth Southgate and Danny Mills have taken the armband for part of a game.
