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 …
There is a lot of talk in football at the moment about restructuring the two cup competitions in England. And it remains to be seen if changes are applied. Stevenage, like many other lower league clubs, benefit greatly from revenue which is generated in these competitions. Here is a good …
Mmm, 10 years is quite a long time – and there’s a lot to remember. To make it much easier, however, we explore Boro’s last decade in numbers. Some of these may amaze you. Others, meanwhile, may disgust or even enrage you. We don’t know. We’re just guessing. But we …
This sort of thing often gets put to the public vote. But we ain’t that organised. So, we had our own crack at picking Boro’s team of the decade. Don’t be getting all riled up about it – you know we’re big fans of what both of you think. We’ve …
It’s odd, innit. It’s been quite an adventure for Boro’ over the last 10 years – even if we’re going into the 2020s just a few league positions on from where we were at the 2010s. In shaping that adventure, we’ve had some pretty good times; magic moments under lights, …
It’s been a while, but we’ve gone back to the archives to see what was going down back in the day – a time we were building for a new future. So, shakedown 1979. For Boro’ kids, it was our time. Not quite a senior team at this point; still, …
Hello old person, feeling your age? OK, let’s take it back 20 years. Prince rides the royalties wave ‘cos we really were partying like it was 1999. After all, it was 1999. And the Millennium Dome is shaping into a “beacon to the world“. One that’s way over-budget and behind …
So, are we having fun with BoroGuide’s World Cup of Boro’ Programme Covers? Our celebration of Stevenage programmes from 1980 to the present day is now into what seems like its 53rd gruelling week (Exaggerating much? Ed.). And, at some point soon we hope, we’ll have the one design that …
