Bryan Robson grateful for support
Wednesday 23rd March 2011, 12:30PM GMT.
Former Albion manager and England captain Bryan Robson has been “overwhelmed” by the level of support he has received since being diagnosed with throat cancer.
Robson underwent surgery earlier this month and is feeling positive about his recovery as he continues working as manager of the Thailand national team and as an ambassador for Manchester United.
The 54-year-old is now due to embark on a three-city charity tour in Asia and the United legend is looking forward to the future.
He said: “The prognosis is good, so I count myself extremely lucky and am even more committed to raising funds to help improve the lives of vulnerable youngsters.
“I have been overwhelmed by the support of fans and well-wishers and I hope everyone in Asia joins me in supporting these events.”
The tour will raise money for United’s charitable foundation and UNICEF, and the dinners will be held in Bangkok on April 6, Kuala Lumpur on April 8 and Hong Kong on April 9.
