From the ashes of Middlesbrough's liquidation in 1986 came a more dynamic, ambitious club led by local businessman Steve Gibson. His investment brought a brand new stadium, a high-profile manager and world class players who ordinarily wouldn't be able to point to Teesside on a map. Ten years after going bust Middlesbrough fancied a crack at English football's elite; but what followed was a rollercoaster season that saw them lose two cup finals, land themselves in hot water with the authorities and somehow manage to slip out of the Premier League with some of the best talent in the division.
