Taxi driver John Cutler said he was stunned and delighted to be the face of Boro Pride after the win at Manchester City.
We tracked down the Boro fan after he was pictured on the front of yesterday’s Gazette celebrating the epic 2-0 win at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
The 38-year-old from Hemlington said: “I had no idea the picture had even been taken.
“I couldn’t believe it when I saw it. It was great.
“I had people texting me all day about it and my mates from work were all winding me up.
“I loved the headline Boro Pride. That’s how we all felt in the away end that day. We were all absolutely buzzing.”
Mr Cutler, a taxi driver for Frontline Taxis in Marske, is a lifelong Boro fan and has had a season ticket since the early 90s.
He said: “You live for days like Saturday. It is up there with some of the best Boro days I’ve had.
“I went with my partner Ruth and it was just great from start to finish.”
Following the win, Boro fans flocked to the shops to buy the new limited-edition strip, and it sold out in just over 48 hours making it the fastest selling shirt in the club’s history.
