In the mid-1990s, the Premier League was a thrilling and fresh competition, England's national football team was not performing exceptionally well, but the arrival of exciting foreign players like Gianfranco Zola, Eric Cantona, and Georgi Kinkladze brought a new level of excitement to the game. In a small industrial town in the north-east of England, a touch of Brazilian magic was the catalyst that propelled a previously provincial and middle-of-the-road club into the global footballing spotlight. The Little Fella: How Middlesbrough Fell in Love with Juninho is the captivating story of Juninho Paulista and his three-year association with Middlesbrough, culminating in the League Cup win of 2004, which remains Boro's sole major trophy to this day. The book delves into Juninho's role in a rollercoaster 1996/97 season, which saw Boro lose two cup finals and face relegation. However, it also highlights the redemptive and triumphant 2003/04 season, which marked a turning point for the club. Contributions from other prominent players from Boro's golden era, including Fabrizio Ravanelli, Emerson, Gaizka Mendieta, and Gareth Southgate, add depth and perspective to the narrative. The Little Fella aims to capture the magic that football fans witnessed on the pitch during those heady days, bringing the reader closer to the heart of the action.
