In October
1981, Manchester United signed Bryan Robson for £1.5m,
a record breaking transfer fee at the time. Robbo instantly
became a huge favourite with the United fans with his hard
tackling, excellent shooting, his amazing work rate and his
incredible leadership. In 1983, he lead the reds to a 4-0
victory over Brighton in the FA Cup Final (he scored twice).
He also lifted the trophy in 1985 and 1990. His quest was
to lift the league trophy and finally in 1993, Captain Marvel's
dream came true as United clinched their first title in 26
years. In 1994, he left United to become Middlesbrough's manager.
Robson will always be one of the best United players of all
time, a fantastic footballer. |

Robbo: My Autobiography |
By
Bryan Robson |
Publishers
Hodder & Stoughton |
2006 |
'Captain
Marvel' tells his unforgettable story as one of football's
superstars - from life as a Manchester United and England
legend, to masterminding football's 'greatest escape' as manager
of West Bromwich Albion. Bryan Robson is widely remembered
as a fearless and inspirational player and captain, both for
club and country, whose presence lifted team-mates and intimidated
opponents. At his peak, he was acknowledged as the most complete
midfield player in the country, and played at the highest
level despite a series of devastating injuries. He began his
playing career at West Bromwich Albion, then moved to Manchester
United in 1981 for a then record British transfer fee of £1.5
million. He soon became captain, and enjoyed regular Cup success,
eventually winning the Championship. He also won 90 caps for
England, 65 of them as captain. His autobiography reveals
a fascinating insight into his days with the England and United
camps and characters such as Paul Gascoigne, Gary Lineker,
Roy Keane and Alex Ferguson. He puts the record straight on
the 'drink culture' that Ferguson sought to stamp out at United,
and describes his pain when he discovered he was surplus to
the manager's requirements. He candidly reflects on the highs
and lows of his football life, and discusses incidents on
the pitch as well as some of the clashes that have happened
behind the scenes. |

Publishers
Harper Collins Willow |
1994 |
Winning
the FA Premier League championship in 1993 was a personal
milestone for Bryan Robson - the conclusion of a 17-year quest.
Yet a year later Manchester United had not only successfully
defended their title, but had also won the FA Cup. In this
book Robson chronicles an extraordinary year. It starts with
the celebrations which followed the 1993 success, but for
the first time in his career Robson's position was threatened
by the arrival of a player who was bought to replace him at
the club. He describes his frustration at being left out of
the side for vital games as the 1993/4 season progressed,
his anger at way United's players and followers were treated
in Turkey, his sadness at Sir Matt Busby's death, and his
recall to the team and scoring of a vital goal which helped
the club to its twelfth FA Cup Final. Then comes his account
of the triumphant climax to the season, with both of English
football's major trophies won, followed by his decision to
take the manager's job at Middlesbrough. |
