One of the cult teams of the 1990s definitely has to be Bryan Robson's Middlesbrough. 

Back in the day, when the Premier League was not exactly replete with players from outside Britain and Ireland, the club had Brazilians like Juninho and Emerson on their books as well as a Champions League winner like Fabrizio Ravanelli.

As Robson himself discussed with us on Team 33 back in 2014, Middlesbrough were essentially relegated on a technicality at the end of the 1996-97 season, having also lost the FA Cup and League Cup finals.

But they returned to the top flight at the first attempt and club top scorer in the old First Division was a certain Mikkel Beck.

The former Denmark international, who featured at Euro 96 and Euro 2000, joined me on Team 33 this week for a look back at his career with Middlesbrough and beyond.

From his memories of the mid-90s Boro side including the famous FA Cup tie against Chesterfield that he scored in to why it all went wrong at Derby County and what life is like for an agent, Beck shared an insight into his career at the top level.
