Documentary exploring the career of the much-loved former England, Barcelona and Newcastle United manager. Via the Hand of God and Paul Gascoigne's tears, to titles across Europe, Robson overcame the most extreme challenges - including fighting for his life after being diagnosed with cancer - before returning to football to manage his beloved Newcastle
Mourinho, Guardiola, Ferguson, Shearer, Lineker, Gascoigne: the great and the good of global football pitch in to pay loving tribute to a thoroughly likeable man who many reckon was the greatest-ever English football manager.

The film's running time may slightly tax the patience of the less-committed viewer, but for fans of football in general, and Robson in particular, this skilfully stitched blend of archive footage and celebrity interviews is a a real Bobby dazzler.
