Europe And A Record Finish: Boro's 2004-2005 Season Review

On the back of victory in the Carling Cup and with new signings including Mark Viduka and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, the 2004/05 campaign saw Boro compete for major European honours for the first time, also racking up a record Premier League finish in dramatic fashion.

Hasselbaink’s free kick... how on Earth did he generate so much power?!

[@Millennial_Mike]

What an amazing player Zenden was.

[@superflybry123]

That Job overhead kick though!

Allaister Brownlee "Their first season in Europe will never be forgotten" and neither will you Ally lad. Still here in 2021 turning on the radio.

I'm not a boro fan but loved his enthusiasm and was entertaining and still is when watching these boro classics.

[@mitchsullo]

nemeth and job were both v underrated this season

[@user-uu3wp2mb6r]

Proud to be a Middlesbrough fan

[@davidmcluckie4234]

Ali Brownlee an absolute legend

[@elliotboro98]

Always like watching the Lazio game. My first ever Boro match

[@sridharsarnobat8673]

I'm an Atletico Madrid fan. A few years earlier I could only dream that Mendieta would be on the same team as Hasselbaink instead of scoring a worldie against him in a cup final (Copa Del Rey 1999).

What Boro Team

[@bricktop.]

What a side we were back then ,quality nearly position. Loved this era.

[@jonathanb1406]

Never understood why we only signed Zenden on a one year deal tbh, lost him for nothing at the end of this season, proper weird decision.

[@paulpinkney5817]

Because he would only sign a one year deal.

UTFB

[@simoneortolani1994]

Few goals scored and taken,lots of 1-0 and 1-1 that season
