    Great player, world class. Better than Gerrard, Keane or Lampard.
    I need to watch it now you have said that. Robson sort of passed my by a little.

      Not too sure about that, football was a bit more brutal back then though. He was a warrior though and a winner, a bit like Roy Keane.
      Never see him doing punditry or anything though, what does he do?

Bit of a couple of flippant/cruel questions....Did the drink have something to do with mistiming recklessness? Was Ferguson wary of moving him on due to his undenied ‘Captain Marvel’ status? He was certainly a main member of the Old Trafford Social Society that Fergie was keen to dismantle yet hung on a few seasons more than others.
        I read Paul McGrath’s autobiography. (A must read) He says in that, that Robson, McGrath and Whiteside were basically the main drinkers at Old Trafford, but Robson would still train as if he was a tea totaller.
        Ferguson couldn’t wait to get rid of Whiteside and McGrath.

          He does an ambassadorial role for Man United. His managerial career went tits up after West Brom.

            No ubiquitous football on the TV during the 80s so he wasn't rammed down the throat as much as 90s/00s players. Robson wasn't at his peak by the time Sky turned up and hyped the levels.

            That's my theory anyway.

                            Certainly not your bad, it was just me imagining Robson out with his gang insisting on tea and the likes of Whiteside & McGrath giving it a ‘What the f*ck!’.

                                I thought the same- too injury prone for me
