Stewie Is Top Man

BORO's top scorer, Stewart Downing, is BORO Blog's BORO Man of the Season.

Downing keeps getting better with each season and this season he never seemed to put in a bad display.

Leading the BORO scoring chart ahead of strikers Tuncay, Mido and Aliadiere and recent acquisition Afonso Alves, Downing has fulfilled the target set to him by Gareth Southgate of netting double figures this season and has, along with David Wheater who has also had a hugely successful campaign, earned a call up to Fabio Capello's England.

Downing remains, in my mind, England's best natural left sided player and has had to play well above and beyond the level required, this season, just to get considered for the England setup. Whilst other natural left sided players, such as Ashley Young are also top quality, no one can measure up to Downing's level of consistency and goal scoring prowess.
