Watching this it's incredible. He had Mourinho as Asst Mgr and Guardiola as his captain. Both of them talking about him. Then fat Ronaldo talking about him.

They talk about this one QF against Atletico when they came out in the 2nd half 3-0 down, the whole of noucamp screaming for him to be sacked, he makes the changes and they win 5-4.

Jose saying he has that game on VHS at home. Pep says that's the moment he knew he wanted to become a manager. Ronaldo just singing Robson's praises.

It's the reason I've always taken an interest in what Mourinho does, people might think me not supporting a Prem side, what's the Jose thing about and it's because I knew he worked under Robson. Didn't Robson tell them to take Jose's pay out of his money one time, that's how much he wanted him by his side. I still to this day thought the best world cup was under him, Italia 90. Although this current world cup is achieving new records of it's own. Anyway back to Robson, to this day it's the only autobiography I've ever had and I don't even read!

Yeh they said that about Jose's wages. He went to Barca, took Jose with him. When they said they wanted him to have a Barca number 2, that's when he said it to them.

Funnily enough, Jose said the most poignant thing at the end. A person only dies when the last person to love him dies.

That's one of THE best documentaries I've ever seen. And I only switched on to it thinking I'd give it 5 mins. 2 hours later, incredible.
 
Robson brought a Newcastle reserve team to my local norther league team for a pre season friendly.
After the match he sat in the clubhouse having a pint and chatting with the locals for ages.
Absolute legend.

Still can't believe you lot hounded him out the way you did. Shameful behaviour really.

What a man Sir Bobby was.
Did the great north run a few on the bounce, the he year was a starter was special. Loads of people jumping over barriers and into the other start area just to run past him/wave.
 
Mate ... my absolute hero as a lad ... part of Jimmy Broomfield's 'entertainers' ... my favourite player, wheras my old man's was Keith Weller ... we had season tickets from 1969/70 until the old man passed away in 1979 (was only 49 and me 19) ... awesome player ... a footballing god ...<cheers>

He drank in a local of ours where I was a pot collector.

A nice popular bloke, one of the (very fit) barmaids was shagging him, she must have been 15-20 years his junior.

He had a domestic appliance shop in the utter **** hole that is Farnworth, sold washing machines essentially.

A Bolton legend is Frank.

Seemed to have been idolised everywhere he played, if we'd have signed him a couple of months earlier, doubt we'd have gone down. I know Brum fans still hold him in high regard.
