Vaguely remembered Boro players

[Concrete Dreams]

Dwight Marshall. Was on the cover of a programme when signed on loan I think; he wore trainers in it. Strange the things you remember.

He played three games for us in 1993.

Gustavo Lombardi. Signed in 98 but never actually played for us, and we loaned him to River Plate. He did play twice for Argentina though, and only made about 100 career appearances. Looks like he’s an Argentinian TV personality now.

He was great for me on LMA manager.

Billy Askew

Saw him whip a great ball in for Bosco to finish in a 1-0 win at Roker.

Him and Marinelli?

Ha funny you say that I tried to talk payero with the shop keeper in a store opposite la bombonera in very broken Spanish, he didn’t have a clue who I was in about lots of point and grinning then we went our separate ways.

Michael Allen anyone?

Did well for Brentford

Rajiv van La Parra.

We were crying out for width and pace, and this guy was brought in during the Jan' window to provide it.

Pulis barely gave van La Parra a chance and he returned to Huddersfield before the season was out.

No it was definitely Michael Young. I think Oliver came in the batch after Young, with Stampy and Agiadis and a couple of others, and I think he went to Stockport? Possibly ended up at Darlo.

Michael Young is definitely the lad I’m thinking of.

Yes. Mick Oliver ended up at Stockport and Darlo. His dad Alan, managed my junior football team and was an absolute LEGEND.

What a game

What a game

The first time I played that game I released Andy Campbell and Alun Armstrong and replaced them with Batistuta and Vieri, with both of them coming in on free transfers. I offered them 50k a week and a house and a car and that did the trick. We won the league. That's what I liked about that game. It was a piece of pi*s.

Always forget that Michael Thomas played for us for a few games back in ‘98 or something.

Mark Barham

It's not an exact answer to your question, but it's surprising how many players names I see mentioned on here(not this thread but the forum in general) and search the player and find they have played a lot more games for us than I thought as I barely remember them. The other side of this is some players names I see mentioned and I remember them clearly but when I look online they played a lot less games for us than I thought or remember.

Most English names that played for Boro in the 60s .... Basil Stonehouse .... His dad John was a character in the region

Son pays tribute as Big John dies at 79

Loving tributes have been paid after the death of one of our region's biggest characters - in every sense.

Alan Murray. One of the 'M' generation.

Kike Sola. Hard to believe he was a professional footballer based on his small cameo with us.

Kike Sola was a strange one. Was strange to think he made his debut instead of Rhodes, who we were all excited to see at the time.

 

[Jonny Ingbar]

I think k that was AK making a point to be honest, which was his undoing ultimately, he could be a bit of a drama queen.
