"Boro Memories and collaborating with Middlesbrough FC offers a unique way to discover and showcase the often very personal history and heritage of football on Teesside in a variety of ways. Alex's contribution not only helped shed light on his own club memories but also helped share his valuable research on the 1966 World Cup and the operations of a football club with new audiences reading the matchday programme in the stands at the Riverside Stadium."
