It’s a big summer for sport, and football fans are in for a bit of a treat in the lead up to this year’s World Cup finals in Russia with the new documentary Bobby Robson: More Than A Manager.
Ahead of its release via Digital Download on 1st June and DVD/Blu-Ray on 4th June, the film will receive three special stadium screenings at Wembley Stadium, London (24th May), St James’ Park, Newcastle (22nd May) and Portman Road, Ipswich (25th May) in honour of the footballing giant. It will also be released in select theatres.
Starring an A-list cast (Ferguson, Mourinho, Guardiola, Ronaldo, Gascoigne, Shearer, Lineker) never-before-seen archive footage and emotional testimony from Lady Elsie Robson, this is an intimate portrait of one of sport’s most inspirational and influential figures.
Covering a career that saw some of the greatest moments in footballing history, including the hand of God, Gazza’s tears, England’s greatest World Cup abroad to titles in Europe’s top leagues and a Barcelona treble, this heartfelt and personal film is led by the intimate recollections of Sir Bobby Robson himself.
During an extraordinary career, in which Robson overcame the most extreme challenges, including battles with cancer, his journey came full circle when he returned to ‘save’ his beloved Newcastle.
We’ll bring you more as we get it.
