United Thread - 2023/24

Robson was a very decent player but as you say, not the sharpest ! Like many footballers of his time he was a bit of a piss-head. I was born in 1955 and have no memory or mental picture of any kind about Duncan Edwards’ football ability.

All anyone really needs to know is that the rags have many many players who they firmly believe are the best players of all time, just to clarify many players not just one who they tell us are the best of all time.

It's the rag way mate.
 
Manchester United ……………. France forward Anthony Martial, 28, among the players no longer part of the club's plans. (Football Insider)


One touted as the new Thierry Henry but ended up as the new Lenny Henry except he is much funnier.
Think it’s time Tony got himself a new contact at the rags. Come on now Jim, don’t stop a good thing.

“Bit of a pisshead” is a serious understatement! I was playing in the Isle of Man tournament early 80s and the rags reserves/recovering injured (Robson, Buchan, Macari from memory) were in it too. Robson was propped in the corner of the bar in Douglas casino at 2am with 2 very fit women on his arm and I have never seen anyone down pints and whiskey chasers at such a rate. Didn’t seem to have any effect on him either. Brought to mind the “where did it all go wrong….” quote

My wife, years ago, used to serve him in the Bowden Hotel....she reckons he was paid or subsidised to booze to attract others in....a proper piss head by all accounts.

He used to frequent (a lot!) and then own a bar/club in Radcliffe too. Obviously loved the nightlife.
