Steve McClaren’s Middlesborough were an interesting band of veterans, talents that had blown off course, bedrock Premier League players and homegrown promise.

But in 2006 they would pull off a UEFA Cup run described as “The greatest comeback since Lazarus”.

This is the story of the time Middlesborough nearly won a European cup.
