Boro legends return for 150th anniversary match

Nearly 100 former Middlesbrough players and managers are reuniting at the Riverside Stadium for a legacy match commemorating the club's 150th anniversary. A crowd exceeding 30,000 is expected to attend the event, which features two squads of former Boro players competing on the pitch alongside a lap of honor and legacy number presentations.

Notable returning figures include Juninho, Fabrizio Ravanelli, Yakubu, Aitor Karanka, Geremi, and Daniel Ayala. The celebration will also feature a dedicated tribute to honor former players and staff who have passed away since the club's founding in 1876.
