'''Stewart Downing''' (born 22 July 1984 in [[Middlesbrough]]) is an English [[football (soccer)|football]] player, who currently plays for [[Middlesbrough]] , and is in the [[England national football team|England squad]]. A natural left-footer, Downing plays on the left side of midfield in a traditional [[midfielder (soccer)|winger's]] role.


==Club career==
Founded in 1958 by John Warfield Armiger, Sr., the {{convert|70|acre|ha|0|sp=us|adj=on}} cemetery was owned and managed by the Armiger family until [[July 17]], [[2007]], when it was sold to Mitchell-Wiedefeld Funeral Home corporation.<ref name=TowTimes>{{cite news|author=Loni Ingraham|title=Funeral home owners buy Timonium cemetery|publisher=''Towson Times''|date=[[December 26]], [[2007]]}}</ref> It averages 900 burials annually.<ref name=TowTimes /> Dulaney Valley Memorial Gardens has a large [[mausoleum]] and chapel with extensive use of [[stained glass]] windows.
Stewart Downing grew up in Middlesbrough's [[Pallister]] estate and has been with the club he has supported since his school days. He is considered one of the most promising graduates of the [[Middlesbrough F.C. Reserves and Academy|Middlesbrough Academy]].


His debut came on 24 April 2002 in a [[Premier League]] game away at [[Ipswich Town F.C.|Ipswich Town]]. He was limited to just three appearances during [[Middlesbrough F.C. season 2001-02|that season]], plus a further three the [[Middlesbrough F.C. season 2002-03|following season]] despite scoring his first senior goal in a 4–1 [[Football League Cup|League Cup]] victory over [[Brentford F.C.|Brentford]]. He was sent out on loan to [[Sunderland A.F.C.|Sunderland]] in 2003 in order to gain experience. His first-team chances at Middlesbrough were limited due to the form of [[Bolo Zenden]] in the left-midfield slot. Downing's career began to take-off when he was recalled from his loan during an injury crisis and was pushed into the first-team.
The cemetery has a ''Fallen Heroes'' section and memorial [[tableau]], dedicated to police officers and firefighters from the local area who were killed in the line of duty and interred there at no charge.<ref name=TowTimes /> The cemetery holds a "Fallen Heroes Day" commemoration each May with an invited speaker.<ref>{{cite web |title=Fallen Heroes Day |publisher=Dulaney Valley Memorial Gardens |url=http://www.dulaneyvalley.com/fallen_heroes_day/fallen_heroes_day.html
|accessdate=2008-04-05 }}</ref>


The [[Middlesbrough F.C. season 2004-05|2004–05 season]] saw Downing make forty-nine appearances, scoring six goals, as well as providing numerous assists. His performances that season saw him called up to [[Sven Göran Eriksson]]'s [[England national football team|England squad]] in February 2005 for a friendly against the [[Netherlands national football team|the Netherlands]].<ref name="EnglandCallUp">{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/4232731.stm |title=England call up Johnson & Downing |publisher=BBC Sport |date=2005-02-05 |accessdate=2008-09-03}}</ref>
There is also a ''Field of Honor'' surmounted by a circle of flags for deceased military veterans. Dedicated on [[Flag Day in the United States|National Flag Day]], [[June 14]], [[1967]], the tribute is supported by the [[American Legion]] and other veterans' groups. An annual [[Memorial Day]] ceremony with invited dignitaries attracts large crowds there.


A knee injury saw Downing sidelined for five months at the end of 2005,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/world_cup_2006/4838530.stm |title=World Cup scouting - Stewart Downing |publisher=BBC Sport |date=2006-03-25 |accessdate=2008-09-03}}</ref> though he returned to play his part in the run to the [[2006 UEFA Cup Final]], including three assists in the 4–2 (4–3 [[two-legged match|agg]]) victory over [[FC Steaua Bucureşti|Steaua Bucharest]] in the semi-final second leg.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/4933504.stm |title=M'brough 4-2 S B'chrst (agg 4-3) |publisher=BBC Sport |date=2006-04-27 |accessdate=2008-09-03}}</ref>

Downing is considered by some Middlesbrough fans to be the team's best player.

Stewart Downing (born 22 July 1984 in Middlesbrough) is an English football player, who currently plays for Middlesbrough , and is in the England squad. A natural left-footer, Downing plays on the left side of midfield in a traditional winger's role.

Club career

Stewart Downing grew up in Middlesbrough's Pallister estate and has been with the club he has supported since his school days. He is considered one of the most promising graduates of the Middlesbrough Academy.

His debut came on 24 April 2002 in a Premier League game away at Ipswich Town. He was limited to just three appearances during that season, plus a further three the following season despite scoring his first senior goal in a 4–1 League Cup victory over Brentford. He was sent out on loan to Sunderland in 2003 in order to gain experience. His first-team chances at Middlesbrough were limited due to the form of Bolo Zenden in the left-midfield slot. Downing's career began to take-off when he was recalled from his loan during an injury crisis and was pushed into the first-team.

The 2004–05 season saw Downing make forty-nine appearances, scoring six goals, as well as providing numerous assists. His performances that season saw him called up to Sven Göran Eriksson's England squad in February 2005 for a friendly against the the Netherlands.[1]

A knee injury saw Downing sidelined for five months at the end of 2005,[2] though he returned to play his part in the run to the 2006 UEFA Cup Final, including three assists in the 4–2 (4–3 agg) victory over Steaua Bucharest in the semi-final second leg.[3]

Downing is considered by some Middlesbrough fans to be the team's best player. He has received criticism from both outsiders and a section of home supporters, as well as being made a scapegoat in England international matches, but retained the backing of the local media and the majority of fans.[4]

On 26 February 2008, Downing signed a new five-year contract, keeping him signed on at Middlesbrough until 2013.[5]

With the departure of Mark Schwarzer in May 2008, Downing is now Middlesbrough's 2nd longest serving player after Brad Jones.

Downing's former agent Ian Elliott was arrested by Cleveland Police on 3 September 2008 after he was reported to the police by the player himself after he had concerns "regarding the way his and his company's affairs [had] been handled". He told Middlesbrough about his concerns some time earlier and the club advised him to involve lawyers and accountants to investigate, while The FA acted as liaison between the police and the club.[6]

International career

With seven Under-21 caps to his credit, Downing made his England debut on 9 February 2005 in a home friendly, played at Villa Park against the Netherlands, replacing Shaun Wright-Phillips in the second half.[7]

Downing's international career took a setback in May 2005 when he was injured training with England on their tour of the USA, keeping him out of the game until 2006.

Downing was included in the England World Cup squad in May 2006 by Sven-Göran Eriksson,[8] and came on as a second half substitute in England's victorious opening game against Paraguay.[9] He was brought on once again in the match against Trinidad and Tobago, when England scored two goals in the last ten minutes.[10]

On 16 August 2006 Downing made his first start for England, as Greece were beaten by 4–0, with Downing involved in three of the goals.[11] He started the subsequent three Euro 2008 qualifiers, against Andorra and the Republic of Macedonia. His performances drew criticism from the press, with many stating that Downing was only being selected due to his friendship with manager Steve McClaren. However Downing hopes to have proven many of his critics wrong after Fabio Capello became the third successive England manager to give him an England cap, on 26 March 2008 in a 1–0 friendly defeat to France.[12] He was also called up (along side Middlesbrough teammate David Wheater) for Capello's friendlies against the USA and Trinidad and Tobago where he received the nod ahead of Ashley Young. His performance justified his selection by contributing with the first two goals and won praise from the press who had previously slated his inclusion in the squad.[13] A few months after Capello took charge of England, the Italian boss stated that he had been most impressed by Downing.[14][15]
