Incredible newspaper coverage from 1927 to the present day
Down by the Riverside! Reacquaint yourself with the history of Middlesbrough football club through newspaper clippings in this personalised Middlesbrough book. With coverage beginning in 1927, the year they won promotion to the First Division, this fine piece of Middlesbrough memorabilia takes you through almost a century of history, revisiting all the key moments in the Teeside club’s history, right up until the present day.
Interestingly, Middlesbrough’s two highest ever league finishes both came right before the outbreak of a World War: 3rd in 1914 and 4th in 1939. Having spent most of their existence in the top flight, it would take the Boro until 2004 to win their first major trophy, the League Cup, less than a decade after they had lost three cup finals in two years. Joseph-Desire Job and Boudewijn Zenden scored the goals as Steve McClaren’s men defeated Bolton at the Millennium Stadium. European football followed, as McClaren led his side all the way to the 2006 UEFA Cup final, beating Stuttgart and Roma along the way, before ultimately succumbing to Sevilla.
Take a look at the contents to see which historic moments are captured.

Classy but tiny print

Thank you for your review.
We do apologise for the inconvenience caused.
From looking into this, we can see that what was ordered was the A4 Middlesborough book. For this item, the text and content has to be scaled down from the original newspapers (where the item is made from) in order to fit within the A4 version book. We do have an A3 upgrade version of this book which is larger in size and the content does not have to be scaled down to the same extent.
If you wished to place an order with us in the future, please do contact us and we will generate a discount code for you.
Once again please do accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused.
If you need to contact the customer service team, please do on 0330 058 0403 or [email protected]
Kind Regards,
The In The Book Team

annie1dog29 Aug 2018
The book was fantastic and so different from the usual 40th birthday presents. The recipient has not taken his smile off his face. The whole family were really impressed. It arrived as promised abd with the added extras. E.g engraved name on book cover and certificate inside.I would definitely buy something from this seller again. Well done.
Exactly what I ordered and my son on his 50th birthday receiving 50 pages of The Telegraph from 1970 makes a wonderful gift. He says it will always sit on the coffee table.
Looking forward to ordering more for my great granddaughter at Christmas
