He always seemed to be such an immense player for you, I was shocked when I saw him play for Middlesbrough at the Riverside at the amount of stick he got from home fans.

He certainly was and had his best years with us. Don't think he really hit those levels again though, particularly at Boro.

We did well to get a few years good service and then a decent fee for him.

When he moved to Cardiff he certainly moved back here but may have moved over the bridge now.  He always said he wanted to go back to the North East thou, so was strange he only lasted a year at Middlesbrough. 

He never lived or played anywhere near the North East before joining Boro?

And then proceeded to waste all of the dough we did actually make on him.. ah well ?‍♂️

I think we sold him at the right time, he was incredible for us particularly on the goal front, but never reached same heights since.  Ironically thought he left to move back up north and yet back down living this way again. 

I remember a work colleague of mine who was a 'boro fan ringing me up and boasting about them signing him, and all he was going to do. 

He got really pissy when I told him that I thought that Championship teams had sussed him out and that we had seen his best days. 

He never came back to me on that strangely. :)

What a night , doesn’t seem like 7 years ago ….the place was rocking….:yawn:

It was rocking but my word it feels longer than 7 years ago to me.

Maybe because it's been so difficult to watch over the past few seasons that I've actually been looking forward to the season finishing. I used to dread close season!

It’s that time of year when you get jealous of any teams playing for titles, cups and promotions.

As a football fan there’s no better feeling than going to an April game knowing a win will push you towards your goal. Studying tables and fixtures, working out all the scenarios. That night had it all.

Entering February/March knowing your season is pretty much over as far as going up or down is  is so dull.

It certainly was seven years ago, 7th April is my wedding anniversary and that was our 25th, other half wasn’t best pleased that we spent it in a back room of some grimy back street bar in Dublin watching it on sky, she was Even  less impressed when we came home a day early so that I could go to PNE ?
