Can’t underestimate the impact Southgate had on Boro when he arrived. A true leader that took us to cup success, two European campaigns, 7th in the league and walked out as Boro captain in a UEFA Cup final. Legend.

There’s always a story behind the shirts we want. This one is no different. As a 7 year old I was bought a fake ‘holiday’ version of this shirt from Magaluf in ‘92 by my uncle. Papin 9 emblazoned on the back. Now I’ve got the real thing. A holy grail. 🇫🇷 😍 🇫🇷
