A Ceefax-style mural celebrating Middlesbrough FC's first major trophy has been unveiled next to the club's Riverside Stadium.

The artwork, underneath the Shepherdson Way bridge, depicts the television text service's full-time result in the 2004 League Cup final.

Fans regard Boro's win against Bolton in Cardiff as the greatest day in the club's history.

Middlesbrough Mayor Chris Cooke said: "This is a brilliant reminder of a day that will always be special to Boro fans."

The council commissioned the work from pixel street artist ZX.8BIT.

"As a lifelong Boro fan it means a lot to me to have my work on show next to the stadium where so many fans will see it," they said.
