"Nowthen, how you doing?"
David Wheater's greeting to Boro fans in this promotional video from 2007 was a little unconventional as far as marketing devices go, but it was as Teesside as they come.
That was the theme for the rest of the slickly-shot advert.
The Redcar-born defender was encouraging fans to buy half-season tickets for a campaign that still had "a long way to go".
Wheater was looking forward to "tearing through" the likes of Steven Gerrard and Ronaldo in games against Liverpool and Manchester United at The Riverside.
Boro got a point out of both those matches and signed off the season with an 8-1 thrashing of Manchester City.
They finished a credible 13th before relegation the following season. Wheater left for Bolton in 2011.
