Comparing national and club teams is as hard as comparing teams from different era's. However you can't leave Leeds United 1968 - 75, stacks of trophies cheated out of more.
One note on Celtic '67, don't think they can go down as one of the greatest teams of all time but considering where the players were from*, it was possibly the greatest achievements in football. Nice to see Middlesbrough going down the same local path.
* and I don't mean because the were Scottish footballers.
In the same context when considering greatest achievements,given a club's resources...You'd have to put Cloughie's European Cup winning Forest side right up there too.
At Boro we have high hopes for the youngsters JT
Now reached the stage where we can put a squad of 16 out for a prem match if needs be,and they are young lads born within 30 miles of Middlesbrough...Steve Gibson's dream is hopefully coming to fruition over the next few years.The man is unique amongst Chairman!He says Boro will never be a PLC.Its all about the pursuit of sporting glory, and not making money.This allows a relativley small club to punch way above its weight..If nothing else,we have the greatest chairman of all time
Hurrah!:D
