Middlesbrough On This Day is a compulsively readable diary that features an entry for every day of the year, revisiting the most enchanting and unforgettable moments from the club's illustrious past while incorporating a bevy of anecdotes and characters. Middlesbrough On This Day revisits the iconic games, greatest players, oddball anecdotes, and painful moments in the turbulent history of Middlesbrough FC. It does so by combining decades of research by Tosh Warwick, Gordon Rees, and Shaun Wilson. The club's origins date back to the 1870s. Examining over 140 years of Boro history, the book retraces the adventures of legendary club members like George Camsell, Wilf Mannion, Brian Clough, Tony Mowbray, and Bernie Slaven on this historical voyage. Everything is here, including Boro's early amateur trophy success as well as John Hickton's legendary penalty run-ups, Juninho's jinking runs, and Maccarone's enchanted European nights at the Riverside Stadium.
