To kick off this quiz about the past week in the Championship, can you name which manager was announced as February's Championship Manager of the Month last week?

What do we think?

The attacking midfielder enjoyed multiple spells at the Riverside, having been loaned out on a number of occasions, and based on the responses above, the now 47-year-old is remembered fondly by the Boro fans. Juninho made 133 appearances for the Teessiders in which he scored 31 goals and provided three assists (via Transfermarkt.co.uk).

Middlesbrough currently find themselves hovering just two points above the relegation zone in the Championship and this footage in our view provides a nice reminder of what a good side Bryan Robson’s team were.

It was announced on Thursday that English football will remain suspended until at least 30 April (BBC Sport) therefore it’s likely that during the coming weeks there will be many more trips down memory lane.
