Pick any point in Boro’s history before 1995 and you’ll likely hear Martin Gittings’ name come up. Now, you don’t need us to tell you that Gitts was a class above when it comes to banging ’em in. But you could argue that our record scorer’s abilities in front of …
In our mind’s eye, some players are inextricably linked with specific clubs. Tony Thorpe and Luton Town was one such connection we always used to make back in the day. Another that you may consider is Kevin Lisbie and Charlton Athletic. The question that comes out of this, however, is …
It’s not hard to work out Boro’s standing in the English pyramid – but what about the global game? It is a question the greatest thinkers and scholars have wrestled with since the dawn of time. By which, we mean 1976. It piqued our interest after a flutter of tweets …
The mid-2000s were a bit of a cult time for Boro’ all told; Graham Westley now firmly into his stride as boss and pushing us into the promotion picture. With forwards like Anthony Elding and Dino Maamria at our disposal, we had the necessary capability to score goals. But there …
Good Game: The series looking at the amazing, utterly memorable, unbelievably dramatic and downright ludicrous games that involved Stevenage Borough over the years. But we’ll insist that we accept no blame for memories warped by time, age or alcohol consumption at the time. We’ll never refer to any games involving …
Blink and you miss it; August is (all but) done and dusted – and we might as well be plunged into the depths of winter now. For Boro’, we’re enjoying a decent return to League One. As one month ends and the new one starts, we find ourselves five league …
If Stephen Hawking had decided to write a book about our club, we’d imagine this is the title he’d choose. But, with the passing of that particular genius, a boat has long since sailed. And the title is ours to grab. The reason? To serve you a little slice of …
Let’s talk iconic Boro’ goals for a second. Joel Byrom? Yep. Giuliano Grazioli? Very probably. John Mousinho? You’d have to think so. But this alone doesn’t instantly make a cult classic. Don’t get us wrong – landmark goals do a lot to keep someone fresh in the memory for the …
There weren’t many highlights during our 1997-8 campaign. Boro’ had now entered a period of transition after a sustained run of success. The team that won the 1995-6 Conference title and gone close to retaining it in 1996-7 had now largely broken apart. Gone were the likes of Barry Hayles …
OK, so you’re Ray Houghton. That don’t impress us much. So, you got the looks. But have you got the touch (still)? Don’t get us wrong – we think you’re alright. But can you still do it on an away day at Stalybridge on a cold winter’s night? And herein …
