Bryan Robson

Is 67 today.
Fack me, how did that happen, it doesn't seem long since we signed him
He was a great player, and I rarely say that. Really good tackler, passer and a goal threat.
Hard and too brave for his own good. So he had plenty of injuries.
He was one of my favourite players, I used to meet him sometimes at a business he was joint owner of.
He liked a drink, so I'll toast him tonight knowing he will be having a sip himself.

Proper captain, not like this joker Bruno

He was the first footballer I worshipped, aged about 7.

At the time I used to get the 'Match' magazine, in which Robson had a column. I knew of the concept of collecting autographs but didn't fully understand it, and so I'd cut out Robson's signature reproduced at the bottom of every column, and I collected this slivers of paper in some little tin.

Very good but not "great".

It's ALL relative of course, but personally, as a fan decades before and after his career, I'd struggle to put him in a list of the most useful, productive and contributive 22 players the club had in that 55 year period.

He might just make it, I've never really sat down and tried to work out such a list. So it's only a 'feeling' at this stage.

Just list the 22 players who DO make your list so we can get some idea of how much you are havent been paying attention.

Learn to read "... I've never really sat down and tried to work out such a list. So it's only a 'feeling' at this stage ..."

and then learn to spell = haven't.
