Excellence

“John ‘Robbo’ Robson is the busiest man in UK non-League football you’ve possibly never heard of.
Having spent most of his life in the non-League game, both as a player and then as a coach and a manager,
he’s plied his trade at dozens of smaller clubs. He’s now written his memoir of a long career on the
path less-travelled. This is a story of ups and downs, successes and failures, and relationships in both
professional and personal life. All told in his uniquely frank and open way – just the way he’s always led his life. Along the way he discusses his family life and how that too was shaped by sport, and recounts many of his footballing friendships in his typically generous manner, offering up a valedictory roll-call of how they all entered his life”.

“Just to let you know that we are selling my book on a daily basis. A lot of friends and footballers have said the way you laid out the pages and stories is very good. Also up in the North East I have made number 5 in authors award list. Thank you again”. – Robbo

Professionalism

“Before any reader as much as opens this meandering volume, there are two aspects of its contents which
perhaps need to be emphasised.
Firstly, it is written on a strictly personal and private basis in the hope of interesting my immediate family. It relates some memories that I might have recounted to my children. Indeed it originated when I was doing just this, and they suggested it would be worth committing these memories to print.
Secondly, as well as being personal and private, it is also clearly an unvarnished account of my memories of, and thoughts about various aspects of my life, warts and all,
as they say. If any of my family considers that there are
omissions, differences of interpretation or inaccuracies,
and hurt is incurred, my regret is offered unreserved.”

“With many thanks” – Brian Cocup
