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.
“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.
 
What are you implying; that Santa isn't real?
