Heroes!

Last Saturday night, I managed to convince my family to go Pavilion! Muahahaha...!! =D The reason??? To go to the RainForest Sports Bar to see...



United Legend himself, Bryan Robson!!! Captain Marvel!!! Robbo!!!



He played for ManU from 1982-1994

  • Robson's 12 years as skipper makes him the clubs longest serving Captain of all time.

The lighting there was blue...but I met the man himself! (Had one of his security personnel capture this pic =D) I also had time to play reporter...

Me: Excuse me , Mr. Bryan Robson...who do you think will win tomorrow night?
Robbo: Spain for sure.
Me: Cool. What about Ronaldo? Is he leaving?
Robbo: Don't worry. He's staying.
Me: Yay! Ok thanks Mr Robson!
Robbo: My pleasure =)

Haha! It turns out he was right about Spain's victory! I really hope he's right about Ronaldo!



Spain's 44 years wait finally come to an end thanks to a solitary goal by Torres in the 33rd min. A well deserved victory. They dominated the whole tournament!



"Money wasn't my main motivation. I simply wanted to be a winner."
Bryan Robson explains his reasons for joining United

Oh..and this ctrl+shift+T thing is uselful in Firefox. Could reopen the tab I accidentally close =D

I wanted to share a video of one of Robbo's best game!

A great example of his leadership was in a Cup-winners cup game against Barcelona in 1984 when United, 2-0 down from the first leg came back to win 3-0 at Old Trafford, Robson getting 2 goals.
