Stewart Downing, (born July 22 1984), is an English football player, whose performances at the start of the 2004-05 season for Middlesbrough, had seen calls in the British media for him to be called up to the England squad, primarily as a solution for the team's problems on the left side of midfield.
Playing Career
Stewart Downing was born at Middlesbrough's Pallister Park and has been with the club since his school days. He is considered one of the brightest graduates of the academy.
Downing made his Boro debut in the 1-0 Premiership defeat at Ipswich Town in April 2002. Three days later he played for the first time as part of the senior squad at the Riverside, replacing Benito Carbone at halftime in the 2-0 home defeat to Chelsea. His first goal for the club was scored in a Carling Cup clash at Brentford.
Earlier on in his career, he was sent out on loan to Sunderland in 2003, as at the time his first-team chances were limited due to the form on the left of Boro's midfield of Bolo Zenden. After his recall due to injuries at Middlesbrough, he found his chances for first-team appearances had increased, and his career started to take off.
With seven Under 21 caps to his credit, Downing made his England debut on February 9 2005 in a home friendly, played at Villa Park against the Netherlands, replacing Shaun Wright-Phillips in the second half. In July 2005, Downing's contract at the Riverdside was extended till 2010.
As the 2005-06 season started Downing found himself ignored by the England (senior team) management and his career took a further setback in May 2005 when he was injured training with England on their USA tour. He returned to full fitness in January 2006.
