The Youngs Uns are currently doing a second Jonny Longstaff tour of the UK.

Go and see the show and find out what was in the Paella when the Republicans were almost out of food.
 
I grew up in its shadow, but always a Boro fan surrounded by Mackems and Geordies (it builds spirit).

Like the Johnny Cash song "A boy named Sue".

My avatar shows we all have to fight together, as the majority of the Spanish people did in July 1936. when faced with a military Q. The Passionaria (Isidora Dolores Ibarruri) called for peoples barricades to stop the Nationalist tanks and troops and the phrase from the Paris Commune of 1871 "no pasaran", in the end they couldn't stop Franco and his mates Hitler and Mussolini, but they showed the rest of Europe they would not sit back and take it. Eventually they got their democracy back around 1981.
 
When I was a young fledgling Boro fan Willie Maddren's family lived in our street & my dad used to drive for his cousin's coach company. So he became my favourite player by default.
