My Autobiography: An Englishman Abroad

Bobby Robson's road to success has been marked by his determination and love for soccer. Starting his working career as a Newcastle miner and amateur, he rose from the ranks to play for England. After his playing career was over, he made the natural progression towards management, building Ipswich up from a struggling side to championship contenders. He took England to the 1990 World Cup semis, only losing on penalties, a feat that earned him the respect of the nation.
