Getting sent off at old Trafford in the semi-final v Chesterfield
🇸🇰 | Vladimír Kinder

In January 1997, Bryan Robson signed Vladimír Kinder for £1m. He stayed at the club for 2 years and played in 3 cup finals.

What are your memories of him at Boro?

Would have taken a point beforehand but a bit disappointed. Dieng has to do better imo. then Conway n burgzorg fluffing 2 decent chances. Last 20 min, eas just a snore fest. Combo of weather and ref not letting it flow.

They'll prob be top 2 Burnley just cos they don't concede

Hardmoors15 training. First half marathon. Unrunnable in parts due to slippy mud and bog. learned the hard way by hitting the deck not once but twice 🤣. One eye on Hardmoors55 (just incase) got to CP1 with 1hr8 to spare. Be closer to 1hr30 in dry conditions. We move 📈 🏃‍♂️

I went to Middlesbrough, because I wanted to write a long read about the club that Steve Gibson saved and then built and has rebuilt so many times since.

Middlesbrough is a story of one man's undying devotion
Middlesbrough owner Steve Gibson saved the club, built it and then rebuilt it. Now the hope is for another new age

Staring down the barrel of your own mortality. The sense of impending doom. The rumble of dread in your bowels.

Not for me, Clive. No way.

#OnThisBoroDay - 2010: Snow joke. #Boro twice slither from behind in a spirited if farcical 2-2 draw at home to Hull as a blizzard whips round the Riverside. A sparse crowd. Many trapped at home by thick drifts. Away fans stuck on A19. Cars abandoned. Carnage on the A66. #Winter
