The day Teesside fell in love with TLF

What a remarkable day that saturday turned out to be, it seemed like the worlds media were in attendance at the Riverside that day, the carnival atmosphere in & around the ground, the place was bouncing long before kickoff

Will TLF live up top the expectations, can the Brazilian player of the year cope with the north east wind, the blizzards, the snow & whatever the north of england will throw up at our latest signing?

Well yes if the Leeds game was anything to go by, his class pass to Fjortofts goal showed one side of his game, his speed of thought, his pace, movement, acceleration & his booking on a tackle on Brian Deane showed he wont be intimidated on the pitch, then we knew we had a little gem on our hands
Osvaldo Giroldo Júnior, known as Juninho Paulista or "Juninho", didnt let us down one bit, he made us want more

Registerred No656 when he made his Boro debut against Leeds
Our little superstar played for the mighty Boro on 3 seperate occassions, he played with his heart on his sleeve, taking us to levels us Boro fans could only dream of, then the unthinkable, an important memeber of of a trophy winning Boro
