With a number of accolades to his name including the winner of the Best Manchester United Player of All Time in 2011 and with 90 England caps to his name, making him the sixth most capped England player of all time, Bryan 'Robbo' Robson remains one of the most popular footballers and specialist football speakers on the roster.
His post-playing career as a popular sports speaker and manager at Middlesbrough has allowed Robson to continue to work within the industry, playing an integral part in turning around the fortunes of a number of teams close to relegation including West Bromwich Albion.
Outside his work as a football speaker, Robson has also been involved in the coaching and management of the Thailand international football team; however, despite a relatively successful stint in Asia, Robson resigned from the team in 2011. Following this Robson returned the UK as a sports speaker and was nominated as the global ambassador for Manchester United.
In 2011 it was revealed that whilst working as a football speaker and manager in Asia, Robson underwent surgery in Bangkok for throat cancer. Since recovering from the illness Robson has returned to his career working as a passionate and enigmatic speaker.
Beyond his wide-reaching appeal as a football speaker, Robson’s achievements were officially recognized when, in 1990, he was awarded an OBE in the Queen’s New Year’s Honours, and in 2002 he was inducted in the English Football Hall of Fame.
