As the Mark Stimson era started with more of a whimper than a bang, we turned to Mark Beard for much-needed oomph in the middle of the park. In fact, we didn’t win any of our first six matches; the attacking style that came with Stimmo produced goals, sure. It’s …
Give us a break from league action and we come to life. Well, sometimes. Here are five of the best cup matches that Boro’ have been involved in. Now, don’t go all funny on us if the five we’ve gone for don’t match up with your thinking. This is Boro’ …
Newcastle aside, there ain’t too much about the 1997-8 campaign we’d look back on with love. Cloughie got to work rebuilding the Boro’ squad during summer 1998. New faces for the 1998-9 season included Carl Alford, Lee Howarth and Dominic Naylor. But the start of the season didn’t put an end …
The 1993-4 campaign saw us romp to yet another title – and this programme from the last day of the season helped to get the party underway. Harrow Borough were in town (with a face that’d become familiar). Going into this game, Boro’ had already claimed the title after Enfield …
Our first-ever season in senior football was a belter. But why did we put out a programme for the final league match if it was an away fixture? Oh, as if we’d keep you waiting on the answer. The fact is that we switched this “away” match at Ford Sports …
You can’t beat a matchday programme. Behind every one is a unique tale of our exploits. From the 2004-5 Nationwide Conference campaign, this one is no exception. Leigh RMI were coming to town for what was the last match of the (normal) season. And, yeah, this end-of-season clash seems as …
Do you have any old Stevenage programmes? We’re so close to having data in place for every single Boro’ game. But there are some gaps that we’d really like to fill. You may be the person we’re looking for to help. We totally don’t mind where you’re keeping your old …
For a time during GW’s second time as Boro’ boss, we turned to Ireland for talent. Darren Murphy was the first to come across – and most successful. And we mean no disrespect to either Darragh Ryan, Don Cowan or Luke Wade-Slater. When did Darren Murphy join us? Murph signed …
Good Friday is one of those ‘special’ days in the footballing calendar. Y’know, like Boxing Day. Or the August Bank Holiday. And even St Woking Day. But it’s right to say that some of ’em have been much ‘gooder’ than others for Boro’ down the years. It can have quite …
The scourge of the English national team for most of the 1990s and maybe even still now, but we’ve had some real gems of left wingers here. From the word go, we’ve had fellas on the southpaw side; twinklin’ and jiggin’ their way down the flank. All the while, they’ve …
