Product Description
Review
'From young boy to First Division star to successful manager, the pictures here do a fine job of capturing the changing face, not just of Robson but of football throughout his half century in the game. Of great interest to most football fans wil be the footage from Robson's troubled but ultimately successful spell as England manager during the 80s... for fans it is an affectionate look at the footballing life of a man who everyone within the game holds in the highest esteem.' (INK magazine (Dec 2003) )
'A perfect present for a Newcastle or any football fan.' (ACCENT magazine (Nov 2003) )
'Like its subject, the adjective which first comes to mind when considering this illustrated biography is 'lovely'. Sir Bob's life story, the subject of countless articles, TV programmes and previous books - two of them by Harris - might be familiar, but the addition of page after page of superb archive photography does the near-impossible by making football's classiest manager look even classier.' (DAILY MIRROR (29/11/03) )

First Sentence
The North East of England has always been a hotbed of football, and the old story that you only had to whistle down the pit face to find a centre forward was not far off the mark. Read the first page

Sir Bobby was a legend. A legend not only in football management but also as a gentleman. Any book relating to him ,in my view, comes highly recommended. For anyone wishing to participate in a leadership capacity in any sport not just football would be wise to flick through the pages of any of his books to learn of art of man-management. At man-management he was a genius and perhaps the best manager to have got the best out of Paul Gascoigne. All books of Sir Bobby ,as I've said, come highly recommended and all true supporters of football will hope he rests in peace. Regards.Matt Marsh
