Summary at a Glance

Geremi played 34 times for Middlesbrough during his loan spell, scoring seven times and relished being the Boro’s main man in the Premier League.

Ahead of the tournament Geremi had impressed the then England assistant Steve McClaren, scoring in a friendly between Cameroon and the Three Lions.

Speaking at the launch of Ladbrokes’ ‘Gaffer of all Accas’, Geremi revealed: “He came to me at full time and said, ‘look, I need you for my team.’.

But former Real Madrid star Geremi preferred passing to Jonathan Greening and Massimo Maccarone.

But, ask Geremi, and he’ll say he preferred his loan spell at MIDDLESBROUGH.
