| Bryan Robson |
NIGEL Pearson's good friend Bryan Robson will skipper the England Legends side contesting the Alan Ball Memorial Cup at St Mary's next month.
The Manchester United legend made Pearson his first signing when he became Middlesbrough manager in the summer of 1994.
And he made Pearson his assistant after taking over as West Bromwich Albion boss a decade later.
Robson joins keeper Chris Woods, ex-Arsenal trio Nigel Winterburn, Ray Parlour and Paul Merson and 1996 PFA Player of the Year Les Ferdinand as confirmed names in manager Peter Reid's squad for the match against Scotland Legends on Thursday, May 15 (7.45pm).
Robson said: "It's great that this year's Legends game is being played at St Mary's, a fantastic stadium in a city with a great football heritage.

I hope Jimmy Case (whilst playing for Saints) reminds him of the time Robson fell over a blade of grass near him in the centre circle of Old Trafford.
Case was red-carded. The replays showed he didn't touch him but despite plea's Robson didn't stick up for Case. Case was banned.

He was England captain at the time as well - Captain Marvel the media called him - but he didn't exactly set a marvellous example!
