Middlesbrough football club is just right at the minute isn’t it.The whole club and fans are more connected than I’ve ever known. Even the small set of songs at the end of todays game on the PA system. What Wilder has done is nothing short of incredible in such little time. UTB
Just got home from the match
I tell you this now, in 20’years time, boro fans will talk about that jonny howson performance. “ remember howson against spurs in 2022 “ I can’t recall a better one ever in my my years of watching the boro. No words to describe it
Well what can I say
Home after a crazy first day
Thank you to everyone who came to wish me well, customers, friends & family
I’ve loved seeing peoples faces seeing them old shirts today and bringing a smile to their faces. cant get over the support I’ve received
10-4 Tuesday
It’s going to be a busy weekend finishing stuff.
interesting the amount of people stopping & asking when we are open, with quite a few asking if they can buy stuff today? Don’t worry I didn’t sell anything 😂
Here’s a Llittle glimpse of ASB Football Shirts
3 months in
I can’t thank you all enough for the support you have given
The 2 main things I wanted from this was to be able to spend more time with my family & go to work enjoying what I’m doing
Because of you all,I can say I’ve achieved that
Hope you enjoy it as much as i do
And that’s ASB Football Shirts ready to open
See you all at 11am tomorrow morning Dundas Arcade.
Depending on how busy it is and the size of the store,we may have to limit to 10 customers a time
We had some issues with the card machine today, so just incase, please bring cash
Must say there’s not enough noise around josh coburns performance again yesterday. Thought he worked tirelessly against two international centre half’s in vestergaard and faet and created problems for them. He’s living out all our dreams, let’s get behind him more.
Barring about another 30 kids shirts, 20 adults shirts, and a few signs, ladies and gents I give to you, ASB Football Shirts
We open this Monday 11am and have a special guest opening the store, local celebrity, Albie Stephen Bythway, my son 💙
Thanks to everyone
From the bottom of my heart
THANK YOU
I didn’t think we could get any busier than we have been, today proved me wrong. People queuing to come into the shop, so many regulars, so many happy faces.
Back open Monday 10-2, and the signed shirt raffle will be at 8 over on Facebook
Cheers for the messages last night & this morning. Just to reiterate I’m fine in myself, but know what I need to do to lighten my mind. Spoke to the missus who agrees with my decision.
Il get 1st lot up this afternoon. Please note I’m in no rush to sell. Il keep this 1 forever
social media this morning it’s about the boro. I had this discussion at work the other day saying how proud and lucky I am to be born here. To be a teessider, to be a boro fan. People can say what they want about the place but in my eyes it’s the greatest place on earth. UTB
So… I’ve taken the decision to sell the full collection. It’s not about the money, but more about the time I’m losing with my boy.I will start the long task of listing everything this wknd. The 1 thing I’ve craved forever is to be a dad, it’s now time to enjoy it a lot more ❤️
WOW. That’s the only word that can describe today. The end of the best week we’ve had since opening. Never in my wildest dreams did I think my little dream would be this popular. Thank you everyone and see you Tuesday
This week is mental health awareness week
A reminder we are closed this week, but if anyone is struggling, I’m back open next Tuesday. My shop can be a safe hub for people to talk discreetly and a none judgemental place to be . Kettle on, shutter down, talk footy 💚
Bodge
If I’ve said it once, ive said it a million times. The sponsor makes a shirt, Otherwise you are buying a template shirt with a Club badge on it.If only there was a local shop that sold original vintage shirts eh. ASB are open 10-3 tomorrow, with 2003/2004 original shirts in stock
Huge thank you to Jude Bellingham who’s just saved me about £3000
Roll up roll up, come get your England tops for Saturdays quarter final against Switzerland
Back open Tuesday at 11
To the attempted shoplifter., you haven’t come back to pay for the tops you were “ going to the bank to get money out for”
Blue top, adidas trainers
Stinking of poo, wee and the worst body odour I’ve encountered.
Don’t bother coming back tomorrow
Ye stink
A lovely delivery from a regular customer of ours today
It’s things like this that make me realise I’m doing something right
And yes I know I look like Peter griffin
It’s days like today I feel blessed to be in the position I am now. In the past I’d of been like every other boro fan, watching the clock till 17.30, counting every minute, now I get to welcome people to my shop and talk about boro and the memories of that day in 2004.
Open 9-2
An update. Firstly thanks for the messages,it means alot. Dads out of intensive care and now on HDU ward. Always been my hero, here he is the first time he held his grandson, my son, in Australia In November. A moment il never forget can’t wait to see him soon. UTB UP THE GELLA
The Juninho collection 😁 have to post this and thank
@thebodge1
for his help in sourcing the majority of these shirts for me. A collection I thought would take me years to complete. Anyone who hasn’t been to ASB football shirts in the dundas arcade yet get yourself down ⚽️
Ive been toying with an idea for a long time & interested to see feedback. If I was to open a football shirt shop, where people can come browse, look around, hopefully buy some stock & also sell old shirts to me, would it be of interest? I have a premises at a good rate already
I have company today as my wife is working me, meaning.
— Everything will be in size order
— Everywhere will be clean
— The Shop will smell nice
— Your items will be nicely folded in a bag
— The scarves will be folded
I’m not the boss today
Open 10-4
Some boro fans laughing at the Geordies getting that group?? Mental
I’m envious of them.
Those are the type of groups you pray you are in. They aren’t going to win the thing but going to some of the biggest clubs in their leagues creating memories away with their mates
@SmoggyOnTour
Hey mate. If you want a change of scenery, a cuppa and a chat about boro and some old shirts why don’t you pop down to the store. Hopefully it will help you a little. If needs be I can even pull the shutter down for 20’mins so it’s not to overwhelming. You got this 💪
Im as frustrated as any boro fan, but fans saying gibbo should go? He’s kept this club afloat for years, yes he’s made mistakes, but we aren’t a fashionable club and would struggle to be taken over by anyone better. Yes a new manager but no not a new chairman.
Seeing some mad comments on the boro. Great point yesterday. People saying we have no chance of the play offs, no we do, 5 games left not 25 win 4 draw 1 and we are in. Am I missing something ? We would of bit anyones hand off when wilder took over to be in this position now. UTB
After beating tournament favourites Slovakia with ease last night, I’m excited for Saturday, and so you should be to.
Therefore, I have 66 England shirts for sale at only £20
Ignore what they say on the price tag, £20
Starting tomorrow 11-4
Great to see my mate
@GaryAPhilipson
back in the shop today and with the tribe in tow. He has officially completed parenting duties today. Panda left with a smile and a few bits from his mate bodge. See you next week gaz
I think the biggest news on teesside today wasn’t Steve gibsons open letter, or the Man Utd tickets going on sale, but the news that
@ChloeCrooks91
and
@mdrcrooks
aren’t actually husband and wife but brother and sister
Thought it would be easier to update on here
Unfortunately one of our regulars suffered what appeared to be a seizure in store today
We’ve travelled with him to the hospital to get checked over so won’t be re-opening today
See you all tomorrow and apologies again
Let’s be honest, the new Boro away kit is an absolute banger.
If only they listen to fans needs more. A simple twist on the 98/99 away shirt and we all love it
Next up, somehow replicate the 94/95 away
Followers, please can I ask you to retweet this
Pop down to ASB Football Shirts this Saturday 9.00-12.00 to get your vintage football shirts and scarves for the last game
We have adults and kids shirts in stock
Our England stock is due out Monday 6th May in time for the euros
Well I never thought yesterday could be surpassed in terms of how busy we were, but today blew me away. Thanks everyone who came in, had a chat, bought a shirt and just enjoyed the shop
Please remember we are only open 12-4 tomorrow
Just a few things to contemplate this fine Wednesday morning. 1 more win were at Wembley, 2 more wins we are in Europe ( potentially ) 3 more wins we win the fa cup. And finally we have the best central midfielder in world football, jonny howson 👏
What an honour to meet
@markdavies67
today. Mark signed some of his books available to purchase in store “ a love letter to football “
One of the reasons I done this was to meet amazing, inspirational people like mark & I can honestly say I wasn’t disappointed, what a top man.
All looking good for sign off for the shop tomorrow with a view to opening at 9am Monday morning 15th January in the Dundas Arcade
Thank you all for your support so far, cannot wait to open & welcome you all to ASB Football Shirts

Not answering calls, not returning calls. Not returning emails, they knew about this for a week, yet they still have the audacity to push sales emails out this morning trying to sell poor carling cup memory merchandise
Commercial and marketing teams at the club are a joke
Tomorrow is St George’s day
It always reminds of My wife’s grandad who used to fly his flag high on April 23rd
So Tomorrow everything in the shop has 5% off.
With every shirt we sell, we will also be donating £5 to
