To add to the Potter v De Zerbi debate, (and inspired by Louise Taylor's reference in the Guardian's coverage of the weekend's games), we have a nominatively better statistical chance of winning the FA Cup under Roberto. Unless you count George, no Grahams have ever managed their team to a FA Cup win. (One Graeme - Souness with Liverpool in 1992). Seven Robertos/Roberts/Bobs/Bobbys have been winning managers.
I'll give you the pre-war one - Bob Crompton with Blackburn Rovers in 1928.
That leaves six Robert(o)s to guess NSC.
Give their name, the team they managed and the year they won.
One name per post please. That gives more people a chance to play.
For a bonus point - Who is nominatively the most likely to score the winner for us? Only one of our current outfield* first team squad shares his forename with the scorer of a winning goal in a post war FA Cup final. Who? (He has to be known by the same name variation i.e. Billy Gilmour and Bill Perry (Blackpool 1953) doesn't count).
