Snowblind 1,711 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 #14 Winner - Gaizka Mendieta Your #15 Contenders: Neil Maddison Still associated with Boro via BBC Tees, the Darlo born midfielder made 55 appearances for Boro, scoring 4 times. Signed from Southampton for £250k, Maddo helped us to promotion in his debut season in 97/98, and was a solid and dependable performer whenever called upon. Danny Mills A quality England international right back who only spent a years loan on Teesside, but featured heavily with some good performances - helping us lift our first major trophy at the tail end if the deal too. Ray Parlour After 12 years of football with Arsenal, The Romford Pelé came to The Riverside and was a real Midfield General in his debut season in 04/05. A very solid, consistent, dependable player who always did more than people see at first glance. Tactically astute, always able to pick a pass and find pockets of space even in the most congested of midfields, Parlour was a real leader and old-school midfielder who gave a valuable contribution during his time at Boro. Mohamed Shawky It was this or Tony Vidmar. The End. Link to post Share on other sites

He did a solid job for us. Parlour. I dont recall having a stand out game for us but i could be wrong. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Borodane 6,246 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I have no idea who to vote for here. Think mills probably had the best of time with us quality wise out of the four. Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,711 Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 Interesting one this... I voted Parlour, but thoroughly expected Mills to win it. Link to post Share on other sites
BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I went for the Romford Pele purely for the big nose incident. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Voted Danny Mills because he did more for us in the one season he was here. Not a great set of choices, like! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Borodane 6,246 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I'd be enclined to say our "own" player vs. a borrowed player. Or maybe the final outcome at the end of the season for the team ie. league position, cup etc. Link to post Share on other sites

Any other stats to consider? Parlour obviously wins on the UEFA Cup front, but is it fair to consider that given we weren't in Europe when Mills was here, but he helped win us the trophy to get there?

I'd probably say that winning the Cup sways it for Mills. I'd take winning a cup at Wembley over finishing 7th any time. Link to post Share on other sites
