[Football] Bryan Robson:"The greatest talent that England has ever produced"

[Lenny Rider]

The words of the late Sir Bobby Robson on Robson who turns 65 today.

Big call?

Better than Sir Bobby Charlton?

Or even Jimmy Greaves?

Or Gazza?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Drunkard who wasted his talent.

 

[studio150]

Doubt he would make the top 20 of English talent.

 

[Pevenseagull]

He looked good when the search for a replacement in the England team was going on .. Carlton Palmer anyone?

 

[Quinney]

Saw him play quite a few times for England, I agree with Bobby Robson. Great box to box player.

When did Sir Bobby say this? After he had managed Gascoigne?

I mean, Robson was a very decent player, and I wouldn't fancy being his opposite number in a game, but not the game changer that many others have been

No to all three. Very good player, though. How Manchester United could do with the likes of him now.

Maybe Bobby Robson mixed up Bryan and Bobby. I certainly did a few times when I started to read about English football history.

That actually did happen at Italia 90

Tom Finney

 

[Rambo]

An old school hard midfielder. Some great battles with the likes of Steve McMahon over the years.

Solid and dependable and a good leader.

But the best, I am not sure. Respect sir bob though.

Lily Parr?

Suspect Bobby Charlton would suggest people look no further than Duncan Edwards.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Whatever happened to Duncan Edwards? Lost in the Munich disaster and getting forgotten over the years. By all accounts he WAS the best player England ever produced, endorsed by just about anyone who was alive at the time. Not enough Premier League action of him recorded by Sky TV to compare with anyone since. In fact, Sky would probably create a conspiracy theory that he didn’t exist.

Or many many others.

Great player yes, but the greatest? . . . Not for me by a long chalk.

This is him lifting up the cup in ‘83 having scored against us in the final.

Not really bothered about the drunkard.

 

[Pavilionaire]

In terms of the most complete, all-round English midfielders of the last 50 years then Robson has to be right up there with Gerrard.

Well that's just the problem with all great players of long ago, we'll never know just how good they were, as of course they haven't been pitted against players of the modern day.
