I am currently pulling together a book based on Boro Memories shared as part of the matchday programme articles alongside a number of interviews I have carried out and material found in Archives etc. It is one of three publications on Boro out this year, the first being the Camsell biography and...

I worked on this a few years back recording memories of Mannion from Boro fans and people around South Bank which might be of interest. Although only a few had memories of him playing, those who shared stories of his playing ability were in no doubt how incredible he was...
