The longest ever serving team captain at Manchester United, Bryan Robson OBE, began his footballing career in the early 1970’s and went on to cultivate an almost thirteen year long place at the helm of Manchester United between 1981 and 1994. Now an experienced sports speaker and club manager, Robson is available for hire as a football speaker for various sports themed and corporate events.
Robson began his career at West Bromwich Albion in 1972 before moving to Manchester United in 1981, a British record transfer at the time at £1.5million, a move that would see him make 345 appearances in United colours. His time at United was rather successful, Robson won three FA Cup titles and a European CupWinners’ Cup. He also won two FA Premiership winner’s medals with the club.
A true legend of the club that really did lead from the front, Robson personified everything the English Giants looked for in a player and he became the focal point that all would be measured against for years to come. Said to have a “terrific football brain” and had exceptional awareness and anticipation; often intercepting or knowing where the ball would land ahead of other players. It was came as no surprise that Robson was capped by England in February 1980 as he has showcased such talents through the England youth set up and consistency for United.
With a number of accolades to his name including winner of the “Best Manchester United Player of All Time” in 2011 and, with 90 International caps to his name, 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 sports speaker and manager at Middlesbrough has allowed Robson to continue to work within the industry, he has played an integral part in turning around the fortunes of a number of teams close to relegation including West Bromwich Albion.
A management career that spanned over 15 years, much like his playing career everything Robson touched would so often turn to gold. In his first season in charge at Middlesbrough he led the team to win the Division One title, securing promotion to the Premier League. He embarked upon managerial journeys with Middlesbrough, Bradford City, West Bromwich Albion, Sheffield Unitedand Thailand. After a few successful seasons with the International team Robson retired from management in order to return back to the UK where he was honoured as a Club 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 to treat him for throat cancer. Since recovering from the illness Robson has returned to his career working as a passionate and enigmatic football speaker. Beyond his wide-reaching appeal as a football speaker Robson’s achievements were officially recognized in 1990 when he was awarded an OBE in the Queen’s New Year’s Honours, whilst in 2002 he was inducted in the English Football Hall of Fame.
A true legend of the game, Bryan Robson OBE really is the epitome of the complete footballer for both club and country. An illustrious and tremendously decorated career coupled with his extremely compassionate and charming persona, Robson really is the most motivational and inspiring after-dinner speaker. A gentleman who really did reach the pinnacle of his profession and still to this day is idolised by so many worldwide, Robson is a magnificent football speaker.
