Juninho enjoyed three spells with Middlesbrough and it’s fair to say it was an exciting time for the club.
The Little Fella played in three cups finals for Boro – plus a replay – and was part of the team that lifted the club’s first major honour.

In the second part of Philip Tallentire’s exclusive interview with Juninho, the Brazilian playmaker looks back on his time with Boro following his highly-publicised arrival in October 1995.

He admits he found it hard to adjust to the North-east climate but was grateful for the warm welcome he received from the Teesside public. That special relationship remains to this day.

Juninho talks about reaching the Coca-Cola and FA Cup finals and reminisces about the heartbreak of relegation.

He admits he was wrong not to take part in the open top bus parade after the Wembley loss to Chelsea and explains why, with a World Cup just around the corner, he had to join Atletico Madrid in the summer of 1997.

Juninho returned on loan in 1999 but it wasn’t a happy period as he struggled to overcome the serious injury he suffered in Spain.

His third spell with Boro came in 2002, just weeks after he helped Brazil win the World Cup. He talks about his international dream coming true and his delight at winning the Carling Cup in Cardiff.

Juninho admitted he didn’t enjoy the same relationship with Steve McClaren as he did with Bryan Robson and regrets leaving to join Celtic when he did in 2004 as Boro began their European adventure.

Hear him talk about these issues and much more by listing to part two of an fascinating interview, available now, for the first time on podcast. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

Juninho has a special relationship with Teesside and the Middlesbrough supporters.When Boro signed him in 1995, the Little Fella was the South American Player of the Year.
It was the equivalent of Huddersfield signing Neymar at the start of the this season.
In fact, it was far more significant than that because English clubs rarely signed South Americans in those days, especially Brazilian internationals.
Most squads were made up of British and Irish players with a smattering of Scandinavians.
Boro were breaking new ground and the people of Teesside took the club’s exotic new acquisition to their hearts.
Philip Tallentire has twice travelled to Brazil to interview Juninho about his life and career and, for the first time, the highlights of those interviews are available to download on two exclusive Gazette podcasts.
Part One covers his early years as a football-mad kid growing up in a middle class suburb of Sao Paulo through to his Boro debut against Leeds in November 1995.
Rejected as slight teenager, Juninho was on the verge of giving up the game but he eventually signed for Ituano. From there he joined Brazilian giants Sao Paulo and he soon emerged as one of the nation’s most talented young players and made his debut for his country on his 22nd birthday in February 1995.
Boro boss and England coach Bryan Robson spotted Juninho playing for Brazil at Wembley four months later and immediately set about signing the playmaker for his newly promoted team. He eventually got his man and the rest is history.
The interview took place in Juninho’s office at Ituano’s HQ, the club he co-owns and runs, so the sound isn’t perfect, but Boro fans will be fascinated by what he has to say. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

Alan Peacock is a Middlesbrough legend.Born and raised in the town 80 years ago, he played for the club he supported as a lad with great distinction.
His strike partnership with the prolific Brian Clough was hugely successful and when the latter moved up the A19 to Sunderland, Peacock took over the chief goalscoring duties, finishing Boro’s top scorer for two successive seasons.
He won an England call-up and travelled to the 1962 World Cup, staying with the squad in the less than salubrious surroundings of a mining company’s headquarters - a far cry from the kind of luxury hotels the modern day players are housed in at major tournaments.
After scoring 141 goals for Boro, Peacock move to upwardly-mobile Leeds United where he would play for fellow Teessider Don Revie.
He won a Division Two Championship medal with United in 1964 and a year later had to settle for runners-up medals in the FA Cup final and the Division One title race.
A serious knee injury suffered in a pre-season friendly in East Germany later that summer would ultimately curtail his career, which ended following a brief stingt with Plymouth at the age of 30.
In an in-depth interview with Philip Tallentire, Peacock talks about growing up in North Ormesby, breaking into the Boro team, spending two years in the Army doing his National Service and playing with stars like Clough at Boro and Jimmy Greaves for England.
He also recounts the time he turned down a move moves to Bill Shankley’s Liverpool and Bill Nicholson’s Tottenham due to a heart-breaking family tragedy before eventually agreeing to join Leeds.
It’s a remarkable tale and one well worth listening to. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
