Steve McClaren had earned a fine reputation as a coach before taking on his first managerial job at Middlesbrough in 2001.

He guided the club to the League Cup final three years later, where they beat Bolton Wanderers 2-1 to win the first, and so far only, major trophy in their history.

Despite Middlesbrough racing into an early lead, Bolton pulled a goal back and were fighting for an equaliser right up until the final whistle.

This was a momentous occasion during an exciting period for Boro fans, but how well do you remember that trophy-winning team?
