Bob Robson Biography

Bob Robson is one of the most popular and richest American Politician who was born on February 18, 1933 in Sacriston, United Kingdom. Sir Robert William Robson CBE (18 February 1933 to the 31st of July, 2009.) was an English footballer and manager. His playing career included time for, and later as manager of his own England national team, as well as having been a manager who won the UEFA Cup for Ipswich Town.

In his first stint in Fulham, Robson participated in two ambassadorial Football Association tour in South Africa and the West Indies in 1955 and South Africa in 1956. But it was during his period in West Bromwich Albion that he made the transition from the regular England squad. This was followed by his first appearance in the year 1956. Manager Vic Buckingham, advocated the “push and run” approach to the game. It was a prelude of “total football”, and using this method, Robson graduated to the full England squad in 1956. it was also there at West Brom when Robson met the future England player and coach assistant Don Howe.

Robson went on to make 20 appearances for the England national team, making his debut in a November 1957 victory against France, scoring twice in a 4–0 victory. Although he made a successful debut, he was dropped for England’s next match, against Scotland, in favour of Bobby Charlton. However, Robson was selected for the 1958 FIFA World Cup squad, ahead of Nat Lofthouse and Stanley Matthews, but returned from host nation Sweden disappointed after England were defeated by the Soviet Union in a group play-off match.

In 1959, the then England manager and the Football Association (FA) director of coaching, Walter Winterbottom, suggested to Robson that he take a coaching course at Lilleshall. He obtained coaching qualifications during his second spell at Fulham, and coached Oxford University A.F.C.. Robson made his debut as a manager in January 1968 at his former club Fulham, against Macclesfield Town, then in the Cheshire County League, in the third round of the FA Cup. Fulham were struggling with 16 points from 24 matches. Despite the acquisition of the young Malcolm Macdonald, Robson could not save the club from relegation to the Second Division, and he left them in November with the club sitting eighth in the Second Division. He discovered he had been sacked not from the club itself, but from the headline “Robson sacked” on an Evening Standard placard outside Putney station.

Robson was introduced to Elsie Gray on a trip back to his parents’ house at Langley Park. Gray was a nurse student and later an educator. The couple was married on June 1955, with Fulham fellow teammate Tom Wilson as Robson’s best man. Following 2001, Robson has been repeatedly identified with cancer. He underwent multiple surgeries and was treated for an endocrine tumor. The procedure, at times, caused him to lose his job; at Porto the example is that Robson was diagnosed with malignant melanoma that caused him to miss the beginning during the season 1995-1996.

The year was 1950 and Robson began his career with Fulham which was recently elevated into the First Division, in a match against Sheffield Wednesday. He came to regard Fulham as “a nice club, a social club…”, but “never… a serious, championship-challenging club”. In reality, both Fulham as well as Fulham were kicked out of the top division in the 1951-52 season. However, he returned back to the First Division, four years after when he joined the club of Vic Buckingham’s West Bromwich Albion in March 1956. The transfer cost of PS25,000 was a Club record in the club of West Brom at the time.

Robson was a pupil at Langley Park primary school and afterward Waterhouses secondary school. However, the headmaster refused to allow the school’s football team to join an organized league. Instead Robson began playing with the Langley Park Juniors on Saturday mornings when he was 11 and when he reached 15 he was playing for the club at a junior level. Robson played whenever he could. He quit school at the age of 15 to begin his career in the field of electrician’s apprenticeship at the National Coal Board in the Langley Park colliery. in May 1950 Bill Dodgin, the manager of Fulham was able to make an individual appearance at the Robson family to give Bobby an employment contract. Although he was given a contract from nearby Middlesbrough but the offer offered to him by Dodgin was too appealing to refuse, which is why he signed with Fulham and relocated to London where he played as a wing-half and an inside forward. Robson was also interested in his old club Newcastle however he decided to move to Fulham since his view was that “Newcastle made no appreciable effort to secure [my] signature.” He also believed he had more chances of getting into Fulham’s first-team of Fulham. Robson was deaf in part in one ear, making him unfit to be selected for national service.

He made his West Brom debut in a 4–0 home defeat to Manchester City on 10 March 1956. In 1957–58, he was the club’s top league goalscorer; his tally of 24 goals included four in a 5–1 win against Burnley. Often playing as a midfielder, he went on to play 257 matches and score 61 goals for West Brom, and he captained the team for the 1960–61 and 1961–62 seasons. However, in August 1962, he returned to Fulham after a disagreement with West Brom vice- chairman Jim Gaunt over his salary. The ongoing dispute over both minimum and maximum wages in the game, instigated by Robson’s teammate Jimmy Hill and the Professional Footballers’ Association, combined with the birth of Robson’s second son, prompted Robson to demand a higher salary. Gaunt refused to negotiate Robson’s contract, so Robson placed a transfer request and was sold to Fulham for £20,000 in a deal which doubled his salary. Soon after Robson joined Fulham, the club sold Alan Mullery and Rodney Marsh, meaning Robson’s chances of securing any significant honour there were substantially reduced. Robson himself stated, “In all my time as a footballer, I didn’t win a thing.”

Robson’s first match in charge saw immediate controversy, as he dropped Kevin Keegan for the match against Denmark. On 21 September 1983, Robson suffered his only loss in the 28 qualifying matches he was to undertake as England manager. The defeat, again to Denmark, ultimately led to England’s failure to qualify for the 1984 European Championships and resulted in Robson offering to resign in favour of Brian Clough. The resignation was rejected by FA chairman Bert Millichip (primarily down to his and the FA’s disdain for Clough), and Robson went on to lead the England team to qualify for the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.
