Bryan Robson wins prestigious award

Manchester United continue to celebrate their proud heritage as the club’s past and present remain deeply intertwined.

With the current squad showing signs of progress under Ruben Amorim, the importance of honouring those who built the foundation of United’s legacy remains clear.

Supporters across the globe have been vocal in recognising figures who helped define the club’s identity through leadership, loyalty and sheer determination.

While the focus at Old Trafford often shifts toward future ambitions, moments like these remind everyone of the institution’s remarkable history.

And this week, a familiar face from United’s golden years stepped into the spotlight once more.

Former captain and club icon Bryan Robson was presented with the Lifetime Contribution Award at the North-West Football Awards on Monday night, as revealed by United via their website.

The ceremony, held at the Manchester Deansgate Hotel, celebrated outstanding achievements across the region’s footballing landscape.

Bryan Robson, affectionately known as “Captain Marvel,” received the honour in recognition of his immense impact on the sport as both player and manager.

The award highlighted decades of service and dedication, symbolising what it truly means to wear the red shirt with pride.

Fans who witnessed his leadership on the pitch recall his unmatched drive and influence during United’s rise in the 1980s and early 1990s.

Now 68, Robson continues to embody the spirit of Manchester United through his ambassadorial work and mentorship roles within the club.

He remains one of the most respected figures associated with Old Trafford, admired not only for his career achievements but for his enduring humility.

The North-West Football Awards, launched in 2007, have become a hallmark event recognising excellence across the men’s and women’s game.

Robson’s accolade served as one of the night’s most memorable moments, drawing applause and emotion from those in attendance.

His contribution to English football extends far beyond United, yet his bond with the club and its supporters remains unbreakable.

Former England legend, Gary Lineker, dubbed Robson as “the most complete player,” highlighting just how good he was in his day.

As the next generation takes centre stage under Amorim’s leadership, Robson’s legacy serves as a constant reminder of what true leadership looks like.

United may be focused on rebuilding their future, but their history continues to inspire, and on nights like these, it shines brighter than ever.
