I'm positive I can beat cancer, says former England and United captain Robson

Former England and Manchester United midfielder Bryan Robson is confident of making a full recovery after surgery for throat cancer earlier this month.

Robson, 54, currently managing Thailand, had the operation in Bangkok on March 3 and is set to start a five-week course of treatment next week.

He told talkSPORT: 'I'm over in England for a week and I'll get a second opinion from a specialist, but I am confident about going back out there and receiving the treatment.

'I'll start on a five-week course of radium treatment next week and just keep my fingers crossed. When things like this come up, you've got to be positive and get on with it.'

Steel boss sends message of support to Bryan Robson
by Chris Hole, Evening Gazette

BORO legend Bryan Robson has been sent a message of support in his recovery from cancer - by Teesside’s newest hero.

Win Viriyaprapaikit has sent his best wishes to the former England captain, now manager of the steel boss’s home nation Thailand.

It comes as Robbo has described how doctors are “very postive” about his progress and how he expected to be given the all-clear in a couple of months.

Mr Win, behind SSI’s takeover of Teesside Cast Products in Redcar, said his country was spurring Robson on after his treatment for throat cancer.

He added: “I think the people of Thailand all send Bryan Robson best wishes. “We love our football and, since Bryan joined the national team, people are aware of the North-east clubs like Middlesbrough, Sunderland and Newcastle.”

Robson, who led Boro to the Premier League and a succession of cup finals, has managed Thailand since 2009.

He underwent surgery for throat cancer on March 3 - having a tumour removed in a Bangkok hospital.

Robbo is now recovering and thanked fans for their support, telling a radio station: “I’m over in England for a week and I’ll get a second opinion from a specialist here, but I am quite confident about going back out there and receiving the treatment.

“Fingers crossed, everything will be clear within a couple of months.”

Robson will start a five-week course of radium treatment in Thailand next week and said: “I thought I just had a sore throat, so I went into the hospital to see the doctor on the Monday. He diagnosed it straight away, I had the MRI scan on the Tuesday and he operated on me on the Thursday - so that’s how efficient they are over in Thailand.”

Former Boro team-mate Craig Hignett said, just 10 days after having the tumour removed, Robson was playing for a Boro legends side at a tournament in Malaysia - but never mentioned his illness at the time.

“He came, played, and looked absolutely brilliant,” Hignett said. “I can’t believe that he’d been with us so soon after his op. But that sums up the man and that is why he’s an English football legend.”

Robson: United Tak Mudah Ulangi Treble 1999

Pelatih Thailand ini menyampaikan prediksinya mengenai kiprah United pada musim 2010/11.


Salah satu legenda Manchester United Bryan Robson menilai tidak mudah bagi Setan Merah untuk mengulangi prestasi tahun 1999 ketika mendapatkan treble dengan menggondol juara Liga Primer Inggris, Piala FA dan Liga Champhions.

Saat ini United masih bertahan di tiga kompetisi. United memimpin klasemen sementara Liga Primer dengan keunggulan lima poin dari Arsenal, lolos ke semi-final Piala FA dan perempat-final Liga Champhions.

“Saya pikir itu adalah pekerjaan besar untuk mendapatkan treble lagi,” ujar Robson dilansir Reuters.

“Jika Anda bertanya kepada orang-orang di Manchester United saat ini, apakah mereka akan bisa memenangi dua dari tiga kompetisi yang masih diikuti, mereka akan bilang semua trofi bisa diambil dalam satu musim. Tapi, mereka bakal mencoba memenangi ketiganya.”

Robson sedang memulihkan kondisi fisiknya usai menjalani operasi mengangkat tumornya pada awal bulan ini. Menurut pria yang masih menangani timnas Thailand itu, fisiknya sudah mengalami kemajuan berarti.

“Operasi mengangkat tumor berjalan dengan sukses. Sekarang saya harus menjalani radioterapo selama lima pekan. Saya merasa lebih baik. Semua spesialis usdah menyatakan hasil positif 100 persen akan pulih. Sejujurya, itu yang ingin saya dengar. Saya hanya berusaha untuk mengikuti perawatan semampu saya,” ucap Robson.

Robson Kecam Cara Pergantian Kapten Inggris

Bola.net - Legenda Manchester United Bryan Robson mengkritik Fabio Capello atas cara pergantian kapten tim yang dilakukannya Rabu, tetapi mengatakan ia mendukung keputusan untuk mengangkat John Terry.

Robson, berbicara dalam konferensi Soccerex di Manchester, mengatakan Capello keliru karena tidak melakukan pendekatan secara pribadi dengan mantan kapten Rio Ferdinand ketika ia merencanakan mengenakan tanda kapten di lengan pemain bertahan Chelsea, Terry.

Pemain Manchester United Ferdinand diketahu merasa kurang gembira dengan keputusan pelatih itu serta isu yang mendominasi pembentukan tim Inggris ketika akan melawan Ghana, Selasa.

"Ketika Anda menjadi pelatih atau manajer dan akan membuat keputusan besar, seharusnya amat baik bila mengetahui siapa yang akan merasa kecewa, kemudian berbicara kepada mereka sebelum hal itu keluar di media massa," kata Robson.

"Tapi kalau saya yang mengalami hal itu, saya akan angkat telepon dan bertanya kepada pelatih, apa yang terjadi mengapa saya diganti," katanya.

Robson menyatakan Terry seharusnya tidak perlu berpikir pernah dicopot sebagai kapten tim Inggris digantikan karena pernah dituduh berselingkuh dengan mantan tunangan rekan setimnya, Wayne Bridge.

"Isu tentang masalah kapten tim Inggris jadi banyak dibicarakan," katanya.

"Saya katakan saat itu kalau itu keputusan yang salah, menggantikan Terry sebagai kapten. Ini menyangkut sepak bola dan masalah mereka tidak ada kaitannya dengan sepak bola," kata Robson.

"Ia kapten tim negaranya untuk bermain sepak bola. Hal lain merupakan urusan kehidupan pribadinya," katanya.

"Semoga masa lalu berlalu. John Terry diberi kepercayaan lagi sebagai kapten tim, jadi semua orang bekerja sesuai pekerjaannya dan semua tenang kembali," katanya.

"Semoga pada sisa kompetisi penyisihan Euro 2012, kita memiliki tim tangguh dengan kapten yang sama. Itu yang paling penting ketimbang membicarakan hal lain," katanya.(ant/cax)

Robson: Things are looking good

Six weeks ago, Manchester United and England legend Bryan Robson was sitting in a Bangkok hospital, recovering from an operation to remove a tumour from his throat. The news, which was released to the public two weeks later caused a huge outpouring of support for the man considered to be one of the greatest midfielders of his generation.

Signed by United for a British record transfer fee of £1.5m in 1981, Robson was later installed as captain of the Old Trafford outfit and won three FA Cups, the 1991 European Cup Winners' Cup and two Premier League titles in 13 years. He was also a key man for his country, given the nickname of ‘Captain Marvel’ by Bobby Robson and featured in the FIFA World Cups of 1982, 1986 and 1990.

Today Robson can be found in Thailand, coaching the country’s national team – a position in which he takes a great deal of pride as he seeks to build a footballing legacy.

FIFA.com How are you feeling? Obviously you’ve not been in such good health recently, but you are looking quite well.
Bryan Robson: Yes, I’m feeling fine. Since I had the tumour out I’ve had fairly good news about the type of treatment I need and how long it’s going to take. But I’ve also been given confidence by a couple of different specialists saying I should make a 100 per cent recovery so I’ve had been good news over the last few weeks.

Have your friends in football been rallying around you, as well as people who have been through similar experiences to yourself?
I must admit throughout the football world, the support and messages that I’ve had has been fantastic. I’d like to thank everybody for that. Lads who have actually been in the game, ex-players, who have had cancer and needed treatment, I’ve had phone calls from those sorts of people with support and advice of how to take it on board. But as far as I’m concerned, I’m going to keep working, do the treatment and hopefully it will not affect me in any way and I can carry on doing the job.

How are things going with the Thai national team?
It’s been pretty good but we haven’t had anything since December so it’s been a bit of a quiet time. The Thai Premier League has just started up again so they are only five games into the season. I’ve been going to watch games, looking at a few young, good talents who are coming through. Then in July we’ve got the first World Cup qualifying game to look forward to, and if we can win that home and away tie against Afghanistan or Palestine then that will take us into the Asian group stages, which would be nice.

From what you achieved as a player, does the prospect of even these pre-qualifiers excite you as a manager?
Yes, because you’re talking about the World Cup. In Asia you’ve got to go through these games to progress further in the competition so, for me, it’s really important that we win the two games in July so then we get into the group stages and give ourselves a chance of qualifying for Brazil.

Is the target qualification for Brazil or do you think it might be another FIFA World Cup away for Thailand?
I think everybody wants to qualify for Brazil and go over there. But over the years, we’ve been a fair way off that so if we can just give ourselves a chance, we’ll be happy with that.

As a player, what is your favourite FIFA World Cup memory?
It would be 1982 because it was my first World Cup finals game; beating France 3-1 and obviously scoring two goals.

There has been a lot of investment in the Thai Premier League over the last couple of years. Have you noticed a discernible improvement in standards since you started managing the Thai national side?
Somebody did a survey on the TPL and it has actually grown 500 per cent over the last 18 months so that’s a massive rise. A lot of big sponsors came into the TPL for whatever reason, big businesses, and they have supported the league so that’s meant better sponsorship, better coverage on TV and they are getting more crowds as well.

Plus, all the players who played for the national team who were playing abroad, apart from one, have all come back into Thailand to play their football for clubs in Thailand. So that’s helpful for me, to keep in touch with the players and watch them. But because of the league improving, it’s improving the national team as well.

Manchester United have a series of seven, possibly eight games coming up that will really define their season in terms of success. How do you see them going?
This is where you want to be coming into the end of the season. They have got important games because they have been successful. Champions League? Really close one, even if you do get through against Schalke you’re going to have to meet either Barcelona or Real Madrid in the final, so that’s a tough one.

In the league they are set up great, they’ve got good advantage at the moment. It’s nicely balanced, with three home games and two away games so they have a great chance of getting the title back. They’re all big games between now and the end of the season but that’s what their players are used to.

Is it times like this that you wish you could pull on the Manchester United shirt again yourself and get out there?
No, it’s not times like this, I’ve felt like that since I was 37 and left United! It’s always nice to play, you can’t replace playing.

Ooo pantes Bryan Robson kini ikut FA Cup Trophy Tour 2011. Berarti Sea Games besok batal deh rencana ketemuan Robson, huhuhu ...

Health issues force resignation, says Robson
Worawi: Withe would be a good replacement

Bryan Robson insists that he resigned as Thailand's coach mainly because of health and family reasons.

"It is with regret that I have to announce my resignation, with mutual consent, as national team coach for Thailand. This decision has been made for a number of reasons, but primarily for health and family reasons," the former England and Manchester United star said in a statement released yesterday.

"I have enjoyed my time associated with Thai football and leave with nothing but respect for the endeavours of people within the game who are working so hard to develop the game to reach the standard that it truly deserves."

Robson underwent surgery for throat cancer in March and has previously said doctors were optimistic he would make a full recovery.

The Football Association of Thailand announced on Wednesday that Robson terminated his contract on mutual consent.

Reports suggested that his departure might have something to do with the allegations by former English Football Association David Triesman that FAT president Worawi, as a Fifa executive committee member, asked for a favour in return for his vote for England's bid to host the 2018 World Cup.

Worawi has been cleared of any wrongdoing by the English FA and Fifa but he insists he will sue Triesman for defamation.

In his statement, Robson did not discuss the matter.

Robson, 54, arrived in Thailand in September 2009 on a four-year contract until the 2014 World Cup. He succeeded former England colleague Peter Reid.

"I resigned at this point to allow the FAT time to appoint a new coach to take on the World Cup qualifying programme. I wish everybody involved in Thai football the best of success and will be cheering on the team at every opportunity," Robson said in the statement.

Worawi has said that former Thailand coach Peter Withe, also an Englishman, could be a good choice to lead the country for a second spell.

Robson thanked all concerned parties for their support during his stint with the national team including his assistant Steve Darby, Worawi, national team manager Anucha Nakasai and his personal assistant Wasapol Kaewpaluk. Darby also quit the national team.

"Most of all I would like to thank the Thai football fans who fully deserve a winning national team. They have given their support throughout my time here and when I was initially ill, I was inundated with good wishes from the fans. My wife and I greatly appreciated their personal support," he said.

He said many Thai players particularly national team captain Nataporn Phanrit could play in the world's major leagues.

"Their attitude is top class and on par with professionals anywhere in the world," he said.

"I had many impressive matches as the Thai head coach but three matches that will be in my memory.

"The match against Singapore when Thailand beat them 3-1, that was the first match that I took part as the head coach for Thailand.

"The other two matches were against Iran in the Asian Cup [qualifying round], although we lost that match in Teheran, we played very well.

"And finally, the Asian Games quarter-final match with Japan. Although we lost to the Japanese team, we had several chances to score goals against them."

Unfortunately, there were also many poor games under Robson who saw the Thais eliminated in the first round of the Suzuki Cup (Southeast Asian championship) last year. At the tournament, Thailand failed to seal a single win and were fortunate to draw with Laos thanks to a late equaliser.

Darby was also not very popular among Thai fans. He was coach of Thailand's U23 side who were eight-time defending champions but were knocked out in the first round at the 2009 SEA Games.

Robson joined an event to unveil Manchester United's new shirt at CentralWorld yesterday. He told reporters he had no immediate plan to return to football management in his home country and that at this stage he will only continue as a global ambassador for United.

"It's not like I'm leaving to go into another management job. I have my reasons to leave and it's not to manage another team," he said.

He plans to return home at the end of this month.
