GIFTED left-sided player who has made a huge impression since breaking into the first team.<\/STRONG><\/P>

Stewart possesses a sweet left foot capable of unlocking defences at any level.

Made his long-awaited Boro debut in the 1-0 Premiership defeat at Ipswich Town in April 2002 and almost crowned a Man of the Match display with a late equaliser. Three days later he was handed his Riverside debut, replacing Benito Carbone at half-time in a 2-0 home defeat to Chelsea.

He has now established himself as a vital part of the Boro first team squad, weighing in with several vital goals. After one memorable performance, against Lazio in the 2004\/05 UEFA Cup, legendary Portuguese defender Fernando Couto described Downing as a "sensational find". <\/P>

Born in Middlesbrough's Pallister Park, he has been with the club since school and is one of the brightest graduates of the Academy.<\/P>

He made his England debut against Holland in 2005 but suffered a serious knee injury while on a US tour with the international squad in summer 2005.<\/P>

However, he returned to action later in the season and produced a stunning performance in Boro's amazing Mission Impossible II comeback against Steaua Bucharest at the Riverside as he was involved in all four goals in a masterclass of wing play.<\/P>

That display helped him earn an England recall for the 2006 World Cup in Germany where he made two appearances as a substitute.<\/P>","Z4G3xpzVynpJOwnxMNpTfw==":"1","ZE\/VAEQEC4o=":"15817","imUxQYceJu408KQwpkF4XQ==":"6","viwgvlE8IGz67pOgLQXwNw==":"\u0e21\u0e34\u0e14\u0e40\u0e14\u0e34\u0e25\u0e2a\u0e42\u0e1a\u0e23\u0e2b\u0e4c,\u0e40\u0e27\u0e2a\u0e15\u0e4c\u0e41\u0e2e\u0e21\u0e22\u0e39\u0e44\u0e19\u0e40\u0e15\u0e47\u0e14,\u0e25\u0e34\u0e40\u0e27\u0e2d\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e1e\u0e39\u0e25,\u0e41\u0e2d\u0e2a\u0e15\u0e31\u0e19 \u0e27\u0e34\u0e25\u0e25\u0e48\u0e32,\u0e0b\u0e31\u0e19\u0e40\u0e14\u0e2d\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e41\u0e25\u0e19\u0e14\u0e4c[\u0e22\u0e37\u0e21\u0e15\u0e31\u0e27],\u0e21\u0e34\u0e14\u0e40\u0e14\u0e34\u0e25\u0e2a\u0e42\u0e1a\u0e23\u0e2b\u0e4c(U18)","9RP70sXbbcc=":"\u0e41\u0e1a\u0e25\u0e47\u0e04\u0e40\u0e1a\u0e34\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e19 \u0e42\u0e23\u0e40\u0e27\u0e2d\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e2a","oINxtoPmnyeBfzI+eT+lQg==":"0","4rMMphfpgYk=":"Stewart Downing","ULFs9ILJUJs=":"451","Yhva4dTCnhsM1VNSBh89jA==":"","i5QdcCyGLGs=":"\u0e2a\u0e08\u0e4a\u0e27\u0e15 \u0e14\u0e32\u0e27\u0e19\u0e34\u0e48\u0e07","AEqLxq8liiVdopxUXZInwg==":"\u0e2d\u0e31\u0e07\u0e01\u0e24\u0e29","urn0YioFQF0=":"64kg","GHFT7jnOd3g=":"180cm","tDvzWOOMrVk=":"1","ms8+GRuVXij8Q6ub6DM5Pg==":"","ZstqwoP2DVNJOwnxMNpTfw==":"1984-7-22","e_index":7}; var playerStats={"PIfg1GoXJ1w=":[{"vs":"4065431,177,451,463,5,2,1,0","t":"2021,05,08,19,30","s":"0,0,0,0,0,1"},{"vs":"4065267,177,451,176,2,3,1,0","t":"2021,02,25,03,45","s":"0,0,0,0,0,1"},{"vs":"4114807,55,451,671,0,1,1,0","t":"2021,01,09,23,00","s":"0,0,0,1,0,0"}],"lzaXKVw2l5g=":{"451":"\u0e41\u0e1a\u0e25\u0e47\u0e04\u0e40\u0e1a\u0e34\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e19 \u0e42\u0e23\u0e40\u0e27\u0e2d\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e2a","463":"\u0e40\u0e1a\u0e2d\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e21\u0e34\u0e07\u0e41\u0e2e\u0e21","176":"\u0e27\u0e31\u0e14\u0e1f\u0e2d\u0e23\u0e4c\u0e14","671":"\u0e14\u0e2d\u0e19\u0e04\u0e32\u0e2a\u0e40\u0e15\u0e2d\u0e23\u0e4c"},"sBZ4zwInEPY=":{"177":{"n":"ENG LCH","c":"DA303B"},"55":{"n":"ENG FAC","c":"141D8B"}},"e_index":7};
