My Only Boro

Do you LOVE football, history, war and politics? Then this is the book for you.

After more than a century of immaculate footballing underachievement Middlesbrough Football Club enjoyed its most successful period beginning with victory in the 2004 League Cup Final and ending on a disastrous night in Eindhoven.

How did we get there? Not just the extraordinary run in that tournament, and not just in sport, but historically, as a town, and as a community.

My Only Boro is not just about Middlesbrough Football Club, it’s not just a history book about the town and it’s not just a social commentary on a town once described as the worst place to live in Britain – it’s all this and more.

“A must read for Boro fans, memories of the good old days that we long to return to, and all you non-footy fans will love it as well. It’s witty and fun to read, a real blast from the past.”

Bernie Slaven, Boro Legend
