Quote ="AdmiralHanson"Echo the sentiments on here.
One story that came out during the tributes was when he was manager during the 'Hand of God' game with that cheat from Argentina.
After the game, the England team returned to the dressing rooms angry with what had gone on and demanding a replay.
Robson stood there impassively, telling the players they'd done well, but generally keeping calm.
When the noise finally started to subside in the dressing room, he spoke ....
[i"The referee has made a decision .... And where we come from, we respect the the referee's decision"[/i
At that point, the players dignity was restored and they all got back on the coach with no more talk about replays or retribution. It speaks volumes for the bloke.
Imagine that nowadays and the whinging, complaining, moaning and endless press conferences we'd have to suffer from some lesser men ?'"
Wish some RL people would use that approach
