Graeme Souness

September 1996
 

In December 1972, the Boro manager Stan Anderson paid £32,000 for Souness, who turned out to be one of his most inspired signings.

 

The 19 year old Scot could not break into the first team at Tottenham, but six years later he had matured into a fine player for whom Boro gratefully received £352,00 for from Liverpool.

 

The dark font and background colour chosen by Riverside Roar when this interview was published made it pretty much unreadable. Therefore, the text shown at the link is a re-typed version.

 

I should credit Paul Thompson, who took the photograph shown in the sidebar as the interview was taking place.

Paul Rogers

July 1997
 

OK, so he is not a former Boro player or manager, just one of the greatest rock singers the world has produced who happens to come from Middlesbrough.

Arthur Horsfield

August 1998
 

After setting the Boro juniors and reserves alight with his incredilble goal tally, Arthur went on to become second highest scorer behind John O'Rourke in Boro's legendary 66-67 promotion season.

Alan Foggon

October 1998
 

Another inspired Stan Anderson signing, Foggon was one of the shining lights of Jack Charlton's Boro team; a player who had incredible turn of speed and a fierce shot.

 

A lengthy career beckoned, following a transfer to Manchester United - but from that point on it was downhill. His Boro days apart, Alan Foggon always seemed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time....

Alan Moody

December 1998
 

If any one player can be said to be a victim of the Ayresome Park Boo Boys it is Alan Moody.

Born in Middlesbrough, he captained Middlesbrough Schools and played at Ibrox for England Schoolboys before being signed to Boro. 

 

He left Boro for Southend United, where he enjoyed a long career.

Bobby Murdoch

March 2000
 

Bobby Murdoch was the anchor man of the celebrated European Cup winning Celtic side of the 1960's. His move to the Boro was big news, and he did not disappoint.

 

Bobby died one year after this interview took place.

Fabrizio Ravanelli

July 2000
 

We all know that to say opinion on Ravanelli is divided among Boro fans in an understatement. But tantrums and in-fighting aside, the fact is from a fans point of view, he scored goals, and plenty of them.

Bryan Robson

December 2000
 

History seems to be remembering Robson with a warm glow. Sure, the last couple of years he was in charge were tumultuous, but those two promotion years and the Wembley finals are to be cherished.

Dickie Rooks

July 2001
 

A hard tackling old school centre half, Dickie Rooks was one of Raich Carter's last signings for Boro.

 

Frustrated by his inability to establish himself as first choice Sunderland centre-half behind the legendary Charlie Hurley, Rooks was lured to Boro in August 1965 with the promise of first team football, and was promptly thrown into a relegation dog fight.

David Armstrong

July 2002
 

This interview in July 2002 was made a little difficult by David's reluctance to answer my more searching questions, as he wanted to save material for his biography. I think maybe his lawyers vetoed those stories at the point of editing the book, (The Bald Facts by Pat Symes, Pitch Publishing) which eventually surfaced 11 years later.

Bryan Orritt

December 2002
 

Bryan left the Boro in the summer of 1966 for South Africa, where he stayed until briefly returning around 1999. Quickly disillusioned with life in the UK, he returned to South Africa the day after this interview took place in the Summer of 2002.

 

He died there on 24th March 2014.

David Chadwick

August 2003
 

I fitted this interview in on a multi-city trip to the USA. NTL took the footage I shot and turned it into a 30 minute programme which was broadcast by Boro TV. Some of the raw footage is shown in the Video section of this website, and the NTL version will be uploaded here sometime before the end of September 2015.

Stan Anderson

September 2003
 

We all know that the team that won the old First Division for Jack Charlton by 15 points back in 1974 was built by the man he took over from: Stan Anderson

 

Like Jack and indeed Bryan Robson, Stan was an ex-England international who guided the club to promotion.

 

Some of the video I shot during this interview is on the Video section of this website.

Steve Gibson

November 2003
 

Steve Gibson is an extremely rare human being in the football world. He is possibly the only Chairman of any club not to have heard fans chanting for his head.

John O'Rourke

21.09.15
 

John O’Rourke was at the Boro for only 17 months. A short time, but long enough to earn a place in the hearts of the fans which continues to this day. Even now, people of a certain age on Teesside will go all dewy-eyed at the memory of his goals in one of the most important seasons in Boro history.

 

Some of the video that I shot in the course of conducting this interview is shown on the Video page of this website.
