Captain Marvel carries the scars of only two serious regrets from a heroic football life now enshrined in celluloid perpetuity by a quite brilliant movie.
One, Bryan Robson should have seized in a patriotic heartbeat his ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ opportunity to become England manager, in succession to Terry Venables.
Two, he fell just 10 short of his long-held ambition of 100 England caps through no fault of his own. Rather because of injuries, some of which he suspects were inflicted with either reckless or deliberate endangerment.
‘For whatever strange reason the FA decided to let go one of the game’s most brilliant coaches (Venables),’ says Robson.
