There's a whole bunch of players / managers that are of a similar age so it's not surprising that a large chunk of them will get something over the next few years - it's crap and puts a lot of things into perspective, like I became grandfather for the first time this weekend and whilst I'm not old it made me realise I'm not actually young anymore either and I'm not all that far behind a lot of the people I've grown up watching in the game.

Not sure that stat is 100% correct. It should probably be players who played with him as well as under him because he didn’t start managing until the late 60s.
Still very impressive though.
One of the players who played under him started his career in whatever season that was in the 50s. It's kind of a cheat (he obviously hadn't played under Robson in the 50s) but still technically true.

Congrats on the granddad part!
