Sir Bobby Robson by Bob Harris

Sir Bobby Robson by Bob Harris

The first illustrated celebration of the life and times of Sir Bobby Robson, one of the most successful managers ever, much loved and respected throughout the world of football. For over fifty years (he joined Fulham in 1950) he has been involved football at the highest level, as a player, at First Division and international level (21 caps), and as coach and international coach (1982-90). As well as the triumphs, capturing the FA Cup and UEFA Cup with Ipswich, two exhilarating World Cup campaigns with England, and winning three cups and the respect of the fans at Barcelona, he has had his share of drama and despair. He was sacked from his first management position at Fulham and again later on in his career from Sporting Lisbon, he was hounded by the press whilst England coach, and has twice recovered from cancer. Bob Harris, a close acquaintance of Sir Bobby's, tells the football manager's own story, which is exclusively interlarded with stories and anecdotes from many of the most famous names in football. Sir Bobby is a living legend and this is a tribute to his amazing life.
