The best of Bryan Robson

I could tell you what you already know. That Robbo tackled like Nemanja Vidic; tore about the pitch with the intensity of Roy Keane (with slightly less snarling); timed runs into the box like Paul Scholes; and slung passes around the pitch like David Beckham.

A search on YouTube will confirm all of that and more, but what it can only hint at is the essence of what made him the greatest midfielder of his generation and the finest captain this club has seen.

Liverpool had the best team in the Eighties but United had the best player.
