Middlesbrough's Stewart 負かす／撃墜するing is one of the 首相 League's few remaining 地元の heroes, growing up on an 広い地所 いっそう少なく than 10 minutes walk from the Riverside Stadium where he 直面するs Watford on Sunday.

For more formal junior training 開会／開廷／会期s, he'd get there riding on the handlebars of his dad's bike 関わりなく the 天候.

Boro scouts didn't have to go far to find him and he's ended up serving his hometown club with distinction in two （一定の）期間s. It may be a familiar story for past 世代s of English footballers but these days 負かす／撃墜するing is in danger of 存在 a dying 産む／飼育する, a 首相 League 星／主役にする wedded to the community and fanbase through a 株d history.

'It does feel different for me playing for Middlesbrough than other clubs,' he 認めるs. 'There are a lot of family and friends in that （人が）群がる. 地元の people, and that means 地元の players can get it tougher.

'I remember when I played at Liverpool, people 推定する／予想するd Steven Gerrard to 勝利，勝つ us the game every 週末. The 圧力 on him was unbelievable, like the whole city was on his shoulders.

'He stayed very focussed and how he 行為／法令／行動するd has helped me. I enjoy having that 責任／義務. If you do 井戸／弁護士席 and the team is winning, your town is buzzing. Your town.'

負かす／撃墜するing's first period as a young player at Middlesbrough 同時に起こる／一致するd with one of the most successful times in the club's history. At 21, he played in a European final under 経営者／支配人 Steve McClaren and captain Gareth Southgate, the team paid for by chairman Steve Gibson, another Teesside-boy-made-good.

When the good times ended with relegation in 2009, England 経営者／支配人 Fabio Capello 警告するd 負かす／撃墜するing he should leave to help his international prospects and the 郊外住宅 spent the next six years in the big cities with Aston 郊外住宅, Liverp ool and West Ham.

Then, in the summer of 2015, the prodigal son took a momentous 決定／判定勝ち（する） to return home にもかかわらず having to 減少（する） 負かす／撃墜する a 分割 into The 選手権 from 首相 League West Ham.

Fortunately, the 賭事 paid off with 即座の 昇進／宣伝 and 負かす／撃墜するing is now 支援する in the 最高の，を越す flight, a 十分な circle 完全にするd from his 早期に days at school in the 影をつくる／尾行する of The Riverside.

'I still have friends on my 広い地所,' says 負かす／撃墜するing. 'We had a big school field in 前線 of our house where we played. I guess I was lucky, it's probably no good for kids to be out on the streets late at night in some places now.

'My dad would do anything to 生き残る and 支払う／賃金 for the family. He'd do 絵, decorating, and if there was no work he went up to Scotland to do time on the 装備するs.

'He still hasn't packed in w ork. It's instilled in him, and it's what they instil in you. A lot of footballers are the same.'

負かす／撃墜するing is proud that when he started 収入 proper money, he was able to buy his parents a new family home in a more upmarket area. 'It felt good to say thank you,' he said.

Gibson 申し込む／申し出d 負かす／撃墜するing 安全 in the form of a four-year 契約 and he liked the idea that his new young family could grow up next to grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.

'I didn't want to come 支援する at 36 when my 脚s had gone,' he says. 'Yes, going into the 選手権 wasn't ideal and if we hadn't got 促進するd, people would have asked why I'd done it.?But it worked out.'

He 見解（をとる）s Middlesbrough as 類似の to Liverpool as a place. 'I used to 運動 through the streets there and it was 正確に／まさに the same as the 広い地所 I （機の）カム from. The people 同様に; 負かす／撃墜する-to-ear th, straight-talking.'

At one time, most clubs had players who grew up on the doorstep. Youngsters Marcus Rashford and Ross Barkley are newer examples but the truth is most 首相 League teams don't 含む any 地元のs in their first-team any more. The money means they can 調印する players from anywhere in the world.

'I think it is a worry. You get kids coming through and another club comes in with a 大規模な 企て，努力，提案. How does the club turn it 負かす／撃墜する? Then, the kid goes there and doesn't play,' 反映するs 負かす／撃墜するing.

'I was fortunate. I didn't need to leave as a kid. I was happy here at a good club with a good chairman and 経営者／支配人. From what I know, our chairman will probably not 許す the club to give up on 地元の players. He will want 青年 to come through ? the club's success has been based on that.'

負かす／撃墜するing's first season 支援する wasn't all plain sailing. Boro did 勝利，勝つ 昇進／宣伝 but only after a 緊張した finale in which 疑問 was cast over the 未来 of 経営者／支配人 Aitor Karanka.

Talking about his own form, 負かす／撃墜するing 認める: 'I knew it wasn't going to be 平易な. You can't have one player turning up and winning you the league and playing three games a week in The 選手権 was more difficult than I thought.'

Karanka stayed and in the summer 用意が出来ている for the 首相 League by 調印 former Manchester City striker Alvaro Negredo and ex-Barcelona and Manchester 部隊d goalkeeper 勝利者 Valdes in the summer to 追加する experience to a young Boro squad.

So far, their only league 勝利，勝つ （機の）カム against Sunderland in August. But 負かす／撃墜するing is 確信して their lowly position will 改善する and is encouraged by the way the overseas 次第で変わる／派遣部隊 have 統合するd.

'The new lads have asked me a lot of of questions about the area. It's good because in the past some players thought they'd only be here for a year and wouldn't be bothered,' he said.

'Our spirit is important because in this league we will lose games and it's how you 答える／応じる that's 重要な.

'We have strong characters. People like me and Ben Gibson don't want to get relegated. I am from the area, I have to live here for life.

'勝利者 (Valdes) lives a minute from me. He's played for Barcelona and Manchester 部隊d and wouldn't have known where Nunthorpe was on a 地図／計画する.

'But he loves it, countryside, kids are at a 地元の school. It's a 静かな little area. I can give him advice on the best restaurants and if he needs a plumbing 職業 doing, I'll send my dad!'

When 負かす／撃墜するing broke into the Boro team, the dressing-room was run by experienced characters like?Southgate, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and 示す Viduka.

'This team is different. It has a lot of young players so there will be more ups and 負かす／撃墜するs. I am the experienced one now, it makes me feel old!' he says.

'I am やめる 静かな but if I need to say something, I will. As you get older, when players go through difficult times, you need to pass your experience on.

'I think the 首相 League 控訴s a lot of our players better than The 選手権. As a team we will get better.

'We have played 井戸／弁護士席 in some games but you have to look at the 質 and experience we are up against. Some of our lads have only played a few 首相 League game in their career.

'For me 本人自身で, I am more ふさわしい to the 首相 League. I have been 伴う／関わるd in it for 10 or 11 years. It is where I want to be.'

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink was one of many 退役軍人s 負かす／撃墜するing could look up to in his first （一定の）期間

負かす／撃墜するing's experience is 強調d by seeing his former captain Southgate as the England 経営者／支配人.

The winger won 23 England caps over a nine-year period under five different 経営者／支配人s. He went to the 2006 World Cup and 2012 European 選手権s.

A 解任する now looks ありそうもない but the 微光 of hope is that Southgate has said his team 欠如（する）s experience and he 選ぶd Stoke City's Glen Johnson for his last squad.

'I am probably a bit too old. But if I am playing 井戸／弁護士席...' smiles 負かす／撃墜するing. How ironic it would be if his old Boro team-mate should become his sixth England 経営者／支配人.

First things first though, 負かす／撃墜するing needs to put in a stirring 地元の hero 業績／成果 on Sunday afternoon. The type he used to see Gerrard pull off at Anfield.?
