George Camsell - Boro’s Greatest Ever Goalscorer: The second talk draws on Dr Tosh Warwick’s research for his forthcoming biography of Middlesbrough FC’s greatest ever goalscorer George Camsell. Taking place 12:30-13:30 at Base Camp, Exchange Square, Tosh will share previously unseen historic material and chart the record-breaking exploits of the former pit boy who went on to become one of football’s greatest goalscorers.
