For a man who was such an absolute legend and stalwart of the Manchester United side for people of my age growing up, Robbo is such wonderful company. It has undoubtedly been one of the greatest joys of my working life to spend time away with him and regularly speak with a footballer I idolised in my youth.
To have a beer and a chat about the 1980s and 1990s with him at the hotel during one one of our foreign excursions with the Reds was fulfilling a long-held ambition. Robbo was the ultimate captain, a brilliant leader for club and country.
