Interesting interview with Schwarzer last night seems quite biter about the way the club & fans treated him when he left. Did serve club for 9 years during our best times. Left & club sent him a typed standard letter thanking for his service a few months after he left. Southgate wrote him a personal thank you letter. Said fans booed him when he played Boro in our relegation season. One threw ball in his face when he picked it up for a goal kick at craven cottage & the fans blamed him for the relegation. Didn’t return to the club for a number of years because of this. Went to play off final as son massive Boro fan & asked the club for tickets. He was happy to pay but his wife had to go to post office to collect tickets and pay for the postage. Felt maybe he deserve better due to his service. Fans spotted him at Wembley and everyone was great with him. Sounds like since that day he has made peace. My guess only heard his version of events so not sure if he caused trouble in last year. Boro usually honour great servants and he was undoubtedly one.
