Lovely words from Boro head coach Steve Agnew to television about former Middlesbrough defender Ugo Ehiogu, who has died at the age of 44.
Ehiogu spent seven years at the Teesside club and helped them win the League Cup in 2004.
"He'll never be forgotten," says Agnew.

Another defeat for Middlesbrough and victory for Hull City at home to Watford will leave Boro nine points from safety with just five games to go.
This. Is. Huge.

Boss Eddie Howe said he would make a "late call" on Dan Gosling's fitness - but the ex-Newcastle man gets the nod ahead of Lewis Cook in midfield to replace Jack Wilshere, who suffered a season-ending injury at Tottenham last Saturday. The only other Bournemouth change sees the speedy Ryan Fraser preferred to Junior Stanislas on the right flank.
Middlesbrough's XI features two changes from Monday's defeat by Arsenal, with George Friend and Calum Chambers replacing Fabio da Silva (who's on the bench) and captain Grant Leadbitter (who isn't).

Quite simply, Middlesbrough have to beat Bournemouth. The problem is they have forgotten how to win after 15 top-flight matches without success.
It's now or never for Boro.
