Robson’s sharp Blades put Blues to the sword

THE FA Cup has provided Bryan Robson with great moments in his illustrious career but possibly none as important as this victory.

The win, to claim another Premier League victim in this season’s competition, came courtesy of first-half goals from Luton Shelton and Jon Stead and while City returned to their dressing room to find €3,000 in cash had been stolen from players and staff, there was no question of them having been robbed on the field.

Players such as Gary Speed, Stephen Quinn and Derek Geary showed qualities in midfield which made Robson, himself, excel in his playing days and the United manager knows more displays of this ilk will decide his fate in the coming months.
