Bryan Robson
"In the end, a small section of the crowd, maybe 2,000 to 3,000, turned against me. And that was it. Inside the club they know your best intentions, but the minority shout louder than the rest."
Quote_1.png
Bryan Robson
"They wanted to jump on their own bandwagon. Bobby Charlton had never made it as a manager. Bobby Moore hadn't either. I think they never stopped trying to put me in the same category. That was the road they went down with me."
Quote_1.png
Bryan Robson
"You can't let players do what they wish and be professional. That's a fact. As for the team, Boro had two internationals when I got there in 1995. Now they have more than 15. And they didn't cost the fortune some suggest."

Quote_1.png
Bryan Robson

Quote_1.png
Bryan Robson
"Last season when things weren't working out, I thought we needed a different voice around the place."
Quote_1.png
Bryan Robson
"I had to make a change. It was no slight on my staff either. We'd all been at Boro for seven years. But certain players had got too familiar with the set-up. I had to turn it round. Terry was the one man I could think of to do it. So I went for him."
