still remember ardiles being penalised for not going anywhere near jesper olsen one year - might have been a bit later - we lost 1-0 to an OT pen - not much changes mate.

A great one for us was when won 5-3 at your place after being 3-0 down 2002 I think

Was about that time, crazy game. Who knows, this season's game at Spurs might be very important.

I only saw him play once live in 1982.
It was in Dalymount Park, Dublin in a Manchester United v Don Givens selected team for Don's testimonial. It was the time of the Falklands war and the crowd wound up Man Utd with "Ole, Ole, Ole" chants. Bryan Robson was a real Action Man, end to end all game. Very impressive. I could imagine his manager shouting to him "take it easy, Bryan, its only a testimonial" |

Makes you wonder how good some of those older players would have been if subject to the health regimes of the present day.Best,Robson et al drinking like fish, Bremner smoking 50+ a day ,then again may just have extended their careers rather than made them better.

It's a shame we haven't got a modern hero of English football to compare them with, someone who's drinking and whoring and smoking had foreshortened their career and stopped them fulfilling their potential.

think leadership is underrated as it not as easy to measure as say goals/assists/passes etc but its one of the things the england team currently lacks, put robson or adams in the current england team and the likes of sterling and lallana etc would probably play better when the pressure is on
i think robson was a big miss in the 1986 wc, maradona may never have scored that great goal and possibly we would have gone through like manu did against barcelona in 1984 when robson starred to upstage the argentinian probably one of the best games in the 1980's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD0jekbsQ44 |

great player,90 caps but would have been 130 if he hasn't been injured so much,unfortunately he`d have lasted about one tackle in todays game,an 80`s roy keane or Patrick viera imo,he was that good
