Andy O’Brien Reminisces About Robson
Andy O’Brien has shared his thoughts about Sir Bobby Robson with the official Bolton Wanderers website. When the Bolton defender was at St James’ Park, Robson was Newcastle United’s manager and as O’Brien recollects Bobby had an endearing way with words.
“The thing I remember the most about him was when we played against Chelsea in a League Cup game, got beat in extra time and I’d missed a couple of opportunities.
“He came to me after the game and I said, ‘I should have done better with the first one, and I should have done better with the second one’. He looked at me and said ‘do you know what? I think you’re the best player I ever signed.’ About 30 seconds later he came back and said, ‘maybe not the best’ .”
