Book description
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.
'a snug, nostalgic and enjoyable read' Bryan Robson is widely
