Instead of just a tv.vat , a tv.vat with a broken pelvic bone?Mido’s broken pelvic bone has put him in a different light
“His lasting contribution to Boro folklore will be his legendary half-time pep talk when he told his team-mates trailing 1-0: "Pass, pass, goal, goal, nightclub, lager, lager."Just looking that up. I was there, but don't remember him playing a single league game. I remember him taking a free kick at a night game, that I thought was a cup match.
it was a long time ago.
I remember a low fizzing free kick, going wide. And BIG shorts... It looked like he was towing a caravan.
I guess it is his place in the worst team
That was also my pep talk when I played on a Saturday afternoon lol“His lasting contribution to Boro folklore will be his legendary half-time pep talk when he told his team-mates trailing 1-0: "Pass, pass, goal, goal, nightclub, lager, lager."
Glad you have remembered Sean St Ledger, didn’t we have to pay for him to leave as we had him on loan with a view to a permanent signing?!I think I’m softening my stance on a few of these.. Mido’s broken pelvic bone has put him in a different light. Kris Boyd could be a contender for being the softest ‘big lad’ I’ve ever seen play football. Britt Assombalonga could get the nod for failing to match Fatty Boyd’s total with us in his last season.
However, Marlon King should be in there really.. should never had been at the club imo. Not wanted by his club Wigan and then sent back by his loaning club Hull.
As annoying as Adam Hamill was.. he wasn’t as annoying as Adam Johnson. He was a left winger with us told us it was either him or Stewart Downing in the team as he couldn’t play in the same side as him. Then he went to Man City and did not live up to his potential, didn’t do what was asked of him.. then back home to Sunderland. He’s not going to make any other boro XI
Kevin Thomson was a big disappointment.. but I think premier league appearances should count for something.
Maybe we could adopt 3-5-2 in memory of our worst ever manager?
Struggling with a central defender and another winger..
We had him on a loan with an option to sign. Something daft like £2m loan and £4m transfer fee. We cut the deal short and just paid the loan fee.Glad you have remembered Sean St Ledger, didn’t we have to pay for him to leave as we had him on loan with a view to a permanent signing?!
He's half the man there that he was on his comeback at Billingham Synthonia - literally half the man sizewiseI think he just saved himself.. that one moment.

FlemingThis is a tough one. Good ones - easy. John Craggs, Curtis Fleming and Luke Young etc. Richard Liburd could be good entertainment - I once saw him slalom his way out of the penalty area, beating about 5 players on the way, with the entire crowd shrieking ‘Get Rid!!’ with increasing hysteria with every touch. But I think for sheer disappointment I’d also go with Justin Hoyte. Luke Young had been SO good, and I think we all assumed that Hoyte would pretty much slot in and be just as good. Which, unfortunately, was just like assuming Rudy would be the new Hickton.
And although Luke Young was very good and Curtis was a great servant, I’d still say that Craggsy is probably the only truly great RB we’ve had.
Curtis was a great defender. It’s fair to say he was not so good going the other way.Fleming

We had to get rid somehow, he was garbage !We had him on a loan with an option to sign. Something daft like £2m loan and £4m transfer fee. We cut the deal short and just paid the loan fee.
That was utter insanity!!
Yeah, it was mad we were ready to lay out £6m for the lad! He was being touted as the next Jonathan Woodgate!!We had to get rid somehow, he was garbage !
I’d have to disagree re Curtis, he was a solid but unspectacular full back. Certainly shouldn’t be anywhere near this topic in my opinion.Fair enough we all have different opinions. Mine is he was a very average player. A lot of Boro fans will disagree but I watched him get roasted, in the Premier League especially, many a time. Luke Young however was class, absolutely agree. Just wasn't here long enough.
