It’s not often you find a one-club man these days. Even our highest appearance makers, Ronnie Henry and Mark Smith, turned out for other clubs in their time. But, in a parallel universe, Jose Whishaw is a genuine one club man. Such was his affinity for Stevenage, you can even …
When a loan deal is turned into a permanent one, that lad must be doing something right. Luke Freeman is a good case in point. After all, one of the joys of bringing someone in on loan is that you can send them back. Sometimes, you simply can’t wait for …
As far as we know, only two lads are now forever immortalised in the name of a Boro’ fanzine: Martin Gittings and Robin Trott. Now, you surely don’t need us to go into the very obvious reasons why our record scorer had the honour of lending his name to Gitts …
For our rise up the leagues during the early 1990s, some names may stand out more than most – and Dave Venables is one of them. Well, he is for us at least. And it’s no mean feat when you think about the fantastic attacking talent at our disposal. In …
You can’t always be sure what you’ll get if you sign a veteran pro. But, if they could all turn out like Steve Guppy, we won’t complain. You see, some elder statesmen of the game can turn up down the pyramid for one last hurrah – but not really do …
For us, there’s always something of an on ne sait pas quoi with Jean-Michel Sigere – enough then, surely, to make him a cult classic? Of course, you might feel this is an odd hill for us to choose to die on. But our memories of the French forward still …
We weren’t around at the time ourselves – but, for those who were, the mid-1980s saw Boro’ back at our swashbuckling best. The step from the United Counties League to the Isthmian League was a tough one to make. So, we needed the players who could help us make that …
FourFourTwo is probably the best magazine for all things football in the UK. A couple of weeks ago, their editorial team gave us a buzz to share our wisdom. No laughing back there, please. We were asked to nominate the definitive Stevenage Cult Hero; a man who holds a special …
In a time before Luke Freeman, there was Adrian Clarke. Both graduates of Arsenal, there is a little bit of disparity between the ages of the pair upon arriving at Boro’, but there are also some striking similarities; both being wing wizards on the left hand side for a start. …
It’s not yet been a week since we first heard that Ronnie Henry was leaving Boro’; seven years of service for the club under his belt. But it is surely appropriate to cherish such distinguished times. And that’s what we’re attempting to do with this very instalment of Cult Classic. First …
