Eight years ago today brought the greatest day of my life when i seen Middlesbrough Football Club lift there first ever trophy. It was the first trophy in our 128 year history. The final was a great game, we managed to go 2-0 within the first 7 minutes, with goals of Joseph Job and a two footed penalty from Bolo Zenden. We had thought that would be game over but typical Boro doing nothing easy, we give away a sloppy goal to Bolton through a mistake from our goalkeeper. The moment that final whistle went i had never been happier in my lifetime. When the little fella dropped to his knees, what a moment. He was quoted as saying it was better winning the Carling Cup with Middlesbrough then it was winning the World Cup with Brazil, just shows what they club means to him. At the end of the game, our shy chairman Steve Gibson even came down and joined in the celebrations.
I will never for get the moment when all the lights went out in the Millennium Stadium and Tin Tin Out String For Yasmin came on and two soldiers walked out the Carling Cup trophy in there hands, it had red and white ribbons on. I will never forget that moment! Then when Gareth Southgate lifted the cup it was amazing scenes all over. Then the players came round the pitch dancing and celebrating, i always remember George Boateng and Bolo Zenden doing a daft dance together, always a cup final celebration isn't complete without Rocking All Over The World. What a day it was and i was only 13, but i will never forget that day.
