Ali Brownlee sadly passed away on Sunday night and will be missed dearly by Middlesbrough and their supporters. Brownlee, was also known as the 'Voice of the Boro' after he had commentated on Middlesbrough for more than three decades and had also hosted the 'BBC Tees' breakfast show.
Neil Green, on of 'BBC Tees' presenters told the 'BBC', "I will miss his energy, his voice and his smile that I arrived to work to every morning."
Middlesbrough definitely won't be the same without him.
