Mark Robins
Mark Robins, Coventry City new boss
Nick Connoll - 20 Sep 2012 The career of new boss Mark Robins As new Coventry City boss Mark Robins begins his tenure at the Ricoh Arena we look back at a playing and managerial career that began back in 1986 with Manchester United. The 42-year-old former striker scored 112 times in playing career that spanned 19 years, beginning at Old Trafford and finishing with Burton Albion in 2005. Robins' playing days also saw him ply his trade in both Denmark and Cyprus although his most successful period as a player was undoubtedly under Sir Alex Ferguson where he picked up winners medals for the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and UEFA Super Cup in 1991 after helping United to the FA Cup in 1990. The latter was infact Sir Alex Ferguson's first ever trophy in his reign as United manager, a cup run which saw Robins score twice, the first of which reportedly secured Ferguson's future as United manager as Robins netted the winning goal in their third round clash with Nottingham Forest. He eventually moved to Norwich City in 1992 where he helped the Canaries qualify for the UEFA Cup, a season where Norwich finished third in the Premier League, before moving to Leicester City where he helped the Foxes regain promotion back to the Premier League at the first time of asking in 1996 before playing an integral part in Leicester's League Cup success in 1997. Robins also turned out for FC Copenhagen in Denmark, Reading, Manchester City, Walsall, Bristol City, Rotherham United, Sheffield Wednesday and Burton Albion. His first taste of backroom life came with Rotherham as assistant manager to Alan Knill whom he succeeded in February 2007, narrowly missing out on promotion from League Two despite a 17-point deduction in the second of his two seasons with the Millers. From there it was on to Barnsley where Robins replaced the departed Simon Davey before leaving the post himself at the end of the 2010-11 season. Robins went on to spend six months with Premier League, helping implemengt the new Elite Player Performance Plan before signing a three-year deal as the new Sky Blues manager in September 2012.

"Manchester United: Alex Ferguson and Others Who Changed United History" Mark Robins is the very player who scored a goal that many see as "the goal that saved Ferguson's United career." It was the third round of the FA cup in an away game to Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest, who were seen at the time as cup specialists and as favorites for the tie. United were struggling this season and the only chance they had at Silverware was in the FA Cup, as they had already crashed out of the League cup and were lying near the relegation spots in the league. Robins was subbed on and became a hero, nodding home a Mark Hughes cross, to win the match and start a revival of sorts that lead to the Manchester side finally taking the trophy after a final replay (the first match ending 3-3, necessitating the replay) in which they triumphed over Crystal Palace. The crucial goal that Robins scored in that third-round tie has become almost an object of United folklore, as there are many who firmly believe that Ferguson would have been sacked had he not won that match. The fans had been baying for his sacking and the media had jumped on this, causing Ferguson to later reminisce that that period was "his darkest time in football management." Robins was extremely unlucky in his Old Trafford career after this, occasionally popping up with a few goals, but being stymied by injury and the form of his fellow strikers. He eventually was sold to Norwich City, with whom he enjoyed some glorious times, including being instrumental in the Norwich sides leading of the Premier league for several months in the 1992-93 season before they fell away to finish third. Mark Robins could well be the reason Ferguson is in the job still; though Edwards has denied he was going to sack Ferguson, it is one of those things that may never come to the true light of day. Either way, Robin's goal was a massive boost and led to United winning the cup, and subsequently winning the Cup Winners Cup the next season.
