9 Newcastle Fans Who Should Have Played For The Club

9. Bryan Robson

“If you didn’t play for Newcastle then I wasn’t interested! If somebody had said to me when I was 14 or 15 that I would support another club in the future that wasn’t Newcastle then I would have laughed.” - Bryan Robson, December 2012.

One of the most influential midfielders in the history of the English game, it goes without saying that Bryan Robson would have injected a little spice into the stagnant Newcastle midfield of the 80’s. There are not many superlatives to adequately do justice to Robson’s talents and the effect he had on the Manchester United midfield.

The fact that the Durham-born midfielder ended up beginning career at a club other than Newcastle must sting for Geordies a little. Perhaps he got confused with West Brom’s similar black-and-white stripes?
