"Known for his fearless tackling, goalscoring ability, and leadership, Robson quickly became a fan favourite at Old Trafford. His career highlights include the 1983 FA Cup final, the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1991, and lifting the inaugural Premier League trophy to end United's 26-year title drought."
"Because there were some great players who played for United, but just for longevity and how much he won - Giggsy. Giggs broke into Sir Alex Ferguson's squad while Robson was still an experienced player at the club. The Welsh winger went on to win everything there was to win with United, including 13 Premier League titles and two Champions Leagues."
"I had said to Bryan Robson [beforehand], 'Robbo, everyone's got a club car [apart from me] and I've played 25 games in the first team now.' He said: 'Yeah, I think you should go and ask the manager. Tell him you've played 25 games and ask him to give you a car.' Robbo had never taken the mick out of me or done any practical jokes, so I trusted him."
Bryan Robson joined Manchester United in October 1981 for a then-British record fee of £1.5 million from West Brom. He became a fan favourite through his fearless tackling, goalscoring ability, and leadership. His career highlights include the 1983 FA Cup final, the 1991 European Cup Winners' Cup, and lifting the inaugural Premier League trophy, ending United's 26-year title drought. With 461 appearances, Robson is regarded as one of the club's greatest ever players. When asked about the greatest player at United, Robson cited Ryan Giggs for his longevity and trophy success, including 13 Premier League titles and two Champions Leagues during his 23-year stint.
