Despite loving Boro so much he once cried on the pitch when they got tonked by Arsenal - he's now finding his best form with Wigan
The tough-tackling midfielder was one of the stand-out performers in a Middlesbrough shirt in his time at the Riverside.
The England under-21 international came through the Middlesbrough ranks and made his full debut for the club against local rivals Newcastle in January 2006.
He was part of the side, managed by Steve McClaren, that made it to the UEFA Cup final against Sevilla four months later and has been a regular ever since.
Despite being highly-rated by Boro boss Gareth Southgate and a firm favourite with the club’s fans, Cattermole left the Northeast for the Northwest in the summer of 2008, joining Wigan - where he was soon impressing with similarly robust performances.
