Debut: vs Hereford United (A), 22/02/2003
Despite a spell of poor form at the start of the 2004/5 season, Dino Maamria arguably ended the season as the hero of Stevenage Borough. It was his two goals over against Hereford United that catapulted Boro' to the playoff final at Stoke, and it seemed as if the Tunisian striker scored the most important goals.
Maamria had netted a brace against Exeter City when Boro' trailed 2-1 to win the game 3-2, and then a week later netted another brace as Boro' came from two behind to draw with Forest Green Rovers.
The 2005/6 season didn't start too well for Maamria, with three red cards leading to calls for his departure on account of a lack of discipline. However, he bounced back to perform consistently well in the centre of midfield, a position that seems to have been adopted permanently by the striker.
However, somewhat out of the blue, Maamria was released in the summer of 2006 after nearly a century of starts to his name, only to return in the 2008/9 campaign in a coaching capacity. It came after a successful spell as manager at Northwich Victoria.
