Rumours that Middlesbrough Football Club was founded over a tripe supper are certainly interesting but have proved to be false. The club was actually formed in 1875 by the local cricket club.
The club's history has not been one of success - with no real silverware in the trophy cabinet. They did flirt with success under Jack Charlton in the late Seventies but the only reward was the Anglo-Scottish Cup!
In 1986 the club reached their lowest ebb with relegation to Division Three and liquidation. Since then Boro have been on the up and up and have established themselves in the Premiership as well as reaching three Wembley finals. Unfortunately, they lost all three finals and are still looking for success.
Fast Fact: Boro legend David Armstrong made 305 consecutive league appearances for Boro in the mid-70s.
Fast Fact: Middlesbrough Football Club were formed by the members of the Middlesbrough Cricket Club in 1876.
