  (H*)= Played at Hartlepool. Although a home fixture Gary Parkinson’s debut came when Boro had to play one game at neighbours Hartlepool United.

Longest title holder  is Josh Walker who has exceeded the previous record of Sam Lawrie ( 2 years 10 months) with a spell of 3 years and 2 days.

Shortest title holder  Having put an end to the longest run Joe Bennett sets up the shortest run at a mere 35 minutes. In the final game of  2008-09 season he came on at the start of the second half  but  the younger Jonathan Franks comes off the bench for his Boro debut as well.
