Cult Classic: Andy Hughes
Now, this is a Cult Classic piece we’ve wanted to write for ages. We just needed more time to do our research on Andy Hughes. In many ways, we still haven’t done that. But we certainly know a lot more now than we did. And…
Who The Hell Was… Greg Luer?
Brian Quailey, Tony Thorpe, Liam George… Boro’s seen enough duff forwards over the years. And Greg Luer is also on that list. In football, the conventional thinking is that a striker should be able to come in and score goals. That’s what they’re on the…
Gitts Is Up
On Sunday, Boro’ will be hosting a very important benefit game for a very important player – superstar striker Martin Gittings. You can almost ignore the visit of Swindon Town the day before. Based on our recent form and head-to-head against the Robins, that might…
Who The Hell Was… Vasili Kalogeracos?
As we struggled to get used to life playing in the GM Vauxhall Conference, one man we turned to for a lift was Vasili Kalogeracos. At the time, Boro’ had been unable to build on a 3-0 win away to Stafford Rangers on the opening…
Cult Classic: Jose Whishaw
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…
Who The Hell Was… Brian Aldridge?
In our club’s not-so-long story, the name Brian Aldridge is forever linked with a bit of a cock up; one that’s not even his fault. In fact, it’s a bit of a rum deal for the stopper who actually came in to do us a…
Who The Hell Was… Daley Thompson
To a few people, he’s a two-time Olympic decathlon champion; winning gold in 1980 and 1984. But, to others, Daley Thompson is best known as a Boro’ player. Probably. At least, we think we got it the right way around. And it was a blink-and-you-miss-it…
Stevenage’s Striker Search
After staying up in bizarre circumstances last season, Stevenage find themselves in mid-table obscurity this campaign. And it’s a welcome sight for fans. At times it’s been difficult to watch and goals have been hard to come by. But Stevenage are grinding out results to…
Stevenage History: Where Are The Older Stories?
As we look back across Stevenage history, we know that a lot of the tales we tell are fairly recent. But what about older stories? Is there nothing worth sharing from the 1980s or the early 1990s? Of course there is! And we get why…
Robin Trott
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…
