In the summer of 1996 Bobby Robson was diagnosed with cancer and given just months to live. Miraculously, less than a year Robson was managing the legendary FC Barcelona - motto 'More Than A Club'. But Bobby Robson was more than a manager. The miner's son from Newcastle played for his country. When he transformed Ipswich into European winners it was clear his real talent lay in coaching.

Starring an A list cast (Mourinho, Guardiola, Ronaldo, Gascoigne, Shearer, Lineker, Sir Alex Ferguson) never before seen archive and emotional testimony from Lady Elsie Robson, this is the definitive portrait of one sport's most inspirational, influential figures whose legacy lives on far beyond the football field. Pioneer, Mentor, Game-changer. Messiah.
