Many fans when asked to pick their all time Man Utd 11 always pick Scholes and Keane as their midfield but for me I just could not leave Robson out he was a fantastic player.

[@caeserromero3013]

TBH Robson was as good as Keane and Scholes combined. He was so good it took 2 players to replace him. Bit like Liverpool and Souness. When he left, it took McMahon and Whelan to replace him.

[@mrjw6701]

@@caeserromero3013 absolutely 👍

[@peterreid9769]

Scholes was a different type of player. He was probably on a par with Keane.

[@johnmeyler5717]

Only people say keane and scholes were better were ones who never saw robson' or knows fuck all about football

[@derekharrison1582]

As a Nottingham Forest supporter I saw Roy Keane come through at the City Ground from 1990/91 till he left for United in 93.Keane would always be in my Forest greatest 11,but Bryan Robson was a colossal player.He was as important for United in the 1980s as Martin Buchan was for United in the 1970s.Both of those players I would have loved to have seen in the Garibaldi Red of Nottingham Forest.As good as Keane and Scholes were,I’d take Robson before either of them.Even Stuart Pearce has said he was a leader of men,and ‘Psycho’ was no shrinking violet was he!!!

[@andyberridge6455]

Mr. Man.United of the 80s. Probably the best box to box player I have ever seen.

Robbo set the tone and was the catalyst for an era of dominance in world football by Manchester United. Without him, there probably wouldn't have been the great successes that came after him.

[@jinkumsan3660]

The player that made me fall in love with football and Manchester United ❤️

[@allangow4746]

If I was picking my all time United eleven, Robbo would be the first name on the team sheet. Oh, and he would be captain of course.

[@garycorfield7312]

Best player ever. Working class hero

[@barryb90]

Not even a United fan but what a player. I don't think he gets the praise he deserves.

[@Sidneyyoungblood75]

Robson WAS Man United in the 80s. The bar was set for Keane and he had to be the same or higher.

[@andylikesstuffchannel]

For me as a 6 year old learning about the history of the Busby Babes from my Grandad and catching any Utd games we could Brian Robson was my Hero and those reasons are why I still support Utd 40 years later

[@tonyhedditch4402]

You know when a player is that good, fellow pro's & managers speak so highly of Robson. He was worth entry fee on his own. Absolutely adored this guy. I watch you tube continuously just to remember the magical Bryan (7) Robson. IMAO simply untouchable. Thanks for the memories Bryan. A die hard Chelsea fan.

[@garyowens1517]

If Declan Rice is worth £100 million Robson would be worth twice that amount. He had it all. Truly world class, a tag given out too easily in todays hyped up game.

I remember in 83 he was linked with a move abroad, couldn't stop crying

[@thevooghtinater3250]

My favourite player absolute legend of Manchester United and England 👍

[@tonyng9247]

He was the reason why I was a Man Utd fan. Best Midfielder in the 80s and also the best looking lad in the 80s too! He is not only Man Utd captain but also England's captain! A legend for Man Utd!

[@seanmccurry7762]

A great player in at times an average team. If United and England had had a few more players like him they would have ruled English, European and World football for years. Also one of the greatest captains ever. Thank you for the great memories Bryan - and I'm not a United supporter.

[@pommiegranite464]

Forget Best, Cantona, Ronaldo etc, when Robson was playing it was like having 12 players on the pitch.

[@lancashirebomber9744]

i think even keano would bow down for king robbo!

[@greglyons2526]

Keane was a much better player

[@lancashirebomber9744]

Nah

[@salfordian0076]

I loved him!!!

[@gerardhighton1758]

Absolute LEGEND... loved him, one of best nights at old trafford against Barcelona... atmosphere was electric... met him at meet n talk night... awesome person, easy to talk too... like I said Absolute legend... also remember the goal against latics, he scored with his knob 😂😂... proper midfield general 👌 ❤

[@steveblack610]

Never gets enough credit. We just took him for granted.

[@derekharrison1582]

As a Nottingham Forest supporter, I would have loved to have seen ROBBO in our midfield.A brilliant player, who stood no nonsense.Big Ron Atkinson called him pure gold when he signed him for United from West Brom,and he gave United great service.The trouble is United relied on him too much in the 1980’s, and when he injured his shoulder in 1985/86,Uniteds title challenge went down the pan.I still think the one sub rule then was ridiculous.There should have been five subs then(one goalkeeper and four outfield players).I just can’t understand why it took so long for a team sport like football to finally wake up to the fact that you needed multiple substitutes.It would have meant not having to rely on your star players like United did with ROBBO.A great player.

[@weetak]

He influenced me both in playing football and approach to life

[@billybigtime2808]

And me and I mean that 100 percent we both chose a superb role model

[@munyaradzimushato9102]

Bruno should be watching this so that he understands exactly what Manchester United captain should do on pitch, not spending most the time accumulating red cards, falling to the ground on the slightest touch , and wasting created chances by the team

Keane and Robson.... 👌

Man utd always have a line up of great captains such as Robson, Bruce, Cantona, Keane . All of them were true leaders on the pitch. Now we have a mediacore captain in Maguire .

[@stormhawk3319]

That perm he had when signing soon went.

[@blackanaconda5327]

[@Curseofsuperbowl49]

Believe it or not I watched him at West Brom and he was even better when he first broke through......

[@mdaz5908]

The one true captain marvel. I hated it when he had to share captain duties with Bruce but was very happy to see him win the league

[@dingdong289]

Without question could do the lot. If the youngsters think Bruno is class (and he is) they should take the time to view Robson on you tube, to see the COMPLETE midfielder !!

[@gavinmurton7263]

Hada picture of Bryan on my wall as a boy..absolutely heroic footballer! Carried a very poor Man u on his shoulders early in his career. Came on here because some idiot on twitter just made a silly comment on his birthday news feed.' 86 England caps (27 goals) and would have had 186 if he hadnt literally put his body on the line for his club and country..just ridiculous how clueless and disrespectful people are today

[@tadficuscactus]

They had to fatten him up on Guiness and pies... haha.

[@martinkristensen8398]

I dont know how old you are but with Robson man united won 3 FA Cups 1 European Cup Winners Cup where he scored 2 goals against Diego Maradonas Barca team in a 3-0 win in the final and he won 2 league titles even though it was at the end of his Career. if All players in the current man united team had the dedication and fighting spirit of robson they would win a lot more he never gave Up he wouldnt allow liverpool to beat them 5-0 he would tell his team mates to get their act together and stop feeling sorry for themselves just because they're 1or 2-0 down in the dressing room at Half time and he would say "don't you guys ever give Up" he was THE captain .if the players walking onto the pitch are afraid of losing they'll lose .a match is never over just because youre 1or 2-0 down it's your attitude against football thats important stay together as a team and not playing for yourself. if you think no matter how much you've cost that you're bigger than man united with no respect for the history of the club you don't last very long and thats the problem with man united players today they lack attitude towards football and im not even a supporter i just think it's sad cause man u is a big club
