and UEFA Cup final as a player, and made 57 appearances for the England national team

for a fee of £2.5 million, having made 152 appearances over four seasons.
and was part of a formidable defence. In his first season, he lifted the League Cup
and Aston Villa qualified for the UEFA Cup
. Southgate played in every Premier League game during the 1998–99
season. He continued to play for Villa in the 1999–2000 season as Villa reached the FA Cup Final
, but handed in a transfer request just before Euro 2000 citing a desire to move in order to "achieve in [his] career". John Gregory, the then manager of Villa, attempted to keep his club captain but after a year on the transfer list he left the club in 2001.
manager Steve McClaren
's first signing for the club. This may have partially been due to the opportunity to reunite his defensive pairing with Ugo Ehiogu
with whom he was a centre-back at Villa. Immediately he became a firm favourite at the Riverside
, winning the club's Player of the Year award in his first season after a series of assured displays whilst receiving no yellow cards.
Southgate was handed the captaincy for the 2002–03
season when Paul Ince
left the club and became the first Middlesbrough captain to lift a major trophy when he helped them win the Carling Cup at the Millennium Stadium
in February 2004. His season ended shortly after that win, when he suffered knee ligament damage.
There were strong rumours that Southgate could be set for a move to Manchester United
following Rio Ferdinand
's ban for missing a drug test in January 2004, but it turned out to be nothing more than paper talk. He later committed his final playing years to Middlesbrough, signing until 2007. His final appearance as a professional player was in the UEFA Cup
final against Sevilla
, which Boro lost 4–0
. He did stay registered as a player during his first term as Middlesbrough manager but did not feature during this time either as a first team player or on the bench.
as a substitute against Portugal
in December 1995. He was then named in Terry Venables
' squad for Euro 1996 on home soil. At the European championship, Southgate played a towering role in England's charge to the semi-finals. However, Southgate's saved penalty against Germany
in the semi-final sent the hosts crashing out. The song Southgate (Euro '96) by The Business
is a reference to this famous sporting event. Southgate managed to make light of his blunder by appearing in an advert for Pizza Hut
which also featured Stuart Pearce and Chris Waddle who had also missed crucial penalties.
Southgate also played in the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000. He had won 57 England caps and was disappointed not to add to the figure during the 2002 FIFA World Cup
finals in Japan
and South Korea
. However, in the penultimate warm-up game ahead of the finals he captained England for the second half of a 1–1 draw with South Korea. His 50th cap came in a 1–1 draw with Portugal at Villa Park
in September 2002.
Southgate was one of the current batch of coaches on the UEFA Pro course and was expected to graduate some time in the summer of 2009.
In his first season in charge, Southgate guided Middlesbrough to a respectable 12th position in the Premier League. His biggest win as a manager was an 8–1 victory against in May 2008; he was also rated by manager Arsène Wenger
as being "good enough" to be England manager in December 2007. He faced some criticism early in the 2007–08
season after Boro had a spell in the relegation zone but they later pulled clear of the bottom three. Southgate became the first Middlesbrough Manager since Terry Venables in 2001 to win the Premier League Manager of the Month award, for August 2008, awarded on 12 September 2008.
In November 2008, Southgate took Middlesbrough up to 8th place after an away win against on-form Aston Villa; however, Boro would thereafter go 14 games without a win, finally defeating Liverpool at home 2–0 on 28 February 2009. It seemed Middlesbrough fans were finally losing patience with Southgate on 21 March 2009 after an away defeat against Stoke, with some of the travelling supporters calling for his head after only achieving one win in 18 games and relegation survival looking unlikely. On 24 March 2009, Middlesbrough Chairman Steve Gibson gave Southgate a vote of confidence, and announced his job was safe.
In May 2009 after a poor season in the Premier League, Southgate's Middlesbrough finished in 19th position and were relegated to the Championship
after a 2–1 defeat against West Ham. After the relegation Southgate said he was determined and vowed to stay with the club and fight to get them back into the Premier League. He praised the supporters and said that he felt for them.
On 20 October 2009, less than two hours after a 2–0 victory over Derby County
, Southgate was dismissed as manager with Middlesbrough in fourth place in the Championship. The decision was controversial as he had taken Boro to within one point of the top position.
season he became an author, penning Woody & Nord: A Football Friendship with close friend and former West Ham goalkeeping coach Andy Woodman
. This book describes an enduring friendship forged in the Crystal Palace youth team that has survived Southgate and Woodman's wildly differing fortunes in the professional game. The book won the Sporting Book of the Year Award for 2004 from the National Sporting Club. In 2005, Southgate became a published poet, with a contribution to the collection Roary & Friends.
Southgate was also a co-commentator for ITV at the 2006 World Cup, covering group games alongside Clive Tyldesley
. His appointment as Middlesbrough manager two days before the start of the tournament meant that he left Germany before the knockout phase commenced, with David Pleat
replacing him as Tyldesley's co-commentator. He resumed a role as pundit and co-commentator after he finished his tenure at Middlesbrough in 2010 commentating on FA Cup
and UEFA Champions League
matches for ITV
as well as acting as a pundit on England games. Southgate has also appeared on media outlets Sky Sports
, Setanta Sports
and BBC

Management career
Southgate was handed his first managerial role at Middlesbrough in June 2006 after McClaren had left to manage England. His appointment drew controversy as he did not have the required coaching qualifications (the UEFA Pro Licence) to manage a top-flight club. He was allowed to stay on as manager, however, by the Premier League in November 2006; Middlesbrough successfully argued that, because Southgate had recently been an international player, he did not have the opportunity to undertake the coaching courses.Southgate was one of the current batch of coaches on the UEFA Pro course and was expected to graduate some time in the summer of 2009.
In his first season in charge, Southgate guided Middlesbrough to a respectable 12th position in the Premier League. His biggest win as a manager was an 8–1 victory against in May 2008; he was also rated by manager Arsène Wenger
