He's the 5ft 2ins internet sensation who’s mobbed wherever he goes.
And today, the Wealdstone Raider - aka Gordon Hill - dropped by at the Riverside Stadium to give a few choice opinions about Boro, our North-east rivals Newcastle and Sunderland - and Boro’s Arsenal-loving, Middlesbrough-misspelling nemesis, Piers Morgan.
Over the past six months, 49-year-old Gordon has become a worldwide internet hit thanks to a 33-second video of him ranting at a non-league game.
Fag in mouth and beer in hand, Wealdstone FC-loving Gordon’s hilarious outburst contains the phrases which have become his catchphrases, including “You want some?”, “You’ve got no fans” and “I’ll give it ya.”
The video went viral and has racked up nearly 8m views on YouTube alone.
He even made a charity single, Got No Fans, which reached number five in the Christmas week singles chart.
Last night, he was doing a charity personal appearance at a students’ night in Newcastle and, as usual, was mobbed.
And after meeting up with Teesside photographer Terry Blackburn, he stopped off in Middlesbrough today for a parmo at the Manjaros restaurant before, naturally, taking a look at the Riverside Stadium.
Even as he entered the Riverside car park, the occupants of two vans, which had followed him to the ground from Middlesbrough town centre, tumbled out to get selfies with this most unlikely of internet sensations.
