The Legacy

Middlesbrough finished second in the Football League Third Division in 1986-1987, securing promotion back to the Second Division. Bruce Rioch managed a side that featured young talent including Gary Pallister, Stuart Ripley, and Tony Mowbray. Bernie Slaven provided the goals that drove the club forward following their near-collapse the previous summer. This Hummel home shirt with Heritage branding arrived as the club stabilized on the pitch. These players formed the backbone of a group that managed to gain consecutive promotions despite significant off-field uncertainty at Ayresome Park throughout the year.
