What's the story behind your username?

[WeeGord]

Mine was originally an account set up when Strachan was in charge with the intention of pretending I was the wee man himself and I posted 'insights' after a few of the games explaining my reasoning for certain tactical decisions, substitutions etc. A few people even thought I was the genuine ginger fella for a few games....

 

[parmoboy]

I like parmos.

 

[the_holgate_roof]

Mine was a period I looked back on where for some reason a few people used to climb up at the back of the Holgate and sit on the roof, think it was the Everton cup games back in the 80’s, when Boro were sat on the holgate roof and some Everton had got on the roof at the other end.

[Boro in Devon]

Mine isn't very exciting or interesting. I used to be Smoggy in Wilts, because that is where I was living when I first registered. I had great memories as a 4 year old when we moved to Teesside, when my dad took us on a tour of the industrial areas of flares and machinery. My Dad had an office in the docks, he was Customs and Excise and would show me the transporter bridge. We moved away after a few years but I was always proud of my time near Middlesbrough.
However there was a post about us talking up our area and not creating the negative aspect, so as I had also moved I became Boro in Devon. Looking to move again soon so may need to change my name again.

[atypical_boro]

I set it up during the Karanka era because we were genuinely good and not in any way “typical Boro”. (Used to post under another name years ago).

Accidentally led to Pink Ponce and one or two others thinking I was AV though as his Twitter handle is “untypicalBoro”.

In homage to the Cuban stand up comedian, actor and podcaster. Man absolutely kills me. Sorry to disappoint anyone who thought it was my real name.

 

[Norman_Conquest]

I was changing my name from Joe_Laidlaw and was looking for an usual footballers name. I came across this Australian goalkeeper named NC and being from Normanby, I thought it was perfect.
