Graham Roberts (footballer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Graham Paul Roberts (born 3 July 1959 in Southampton) is a retired English footballer who played for numerous clubs in a defensive role.
Roberts was a member of the successful Tottenham Hotspur side of the early 1980s, winning two FA Cups and a UEFA Cup. He moved to Rangers in 1986 for £450,000 and won the Scottish Premier League in his first full season and the Scottish League Cup a year later. He joined Chelsea in August 1988 for £475,000 and helped the side emphatically win the Second Division championship in 1988-89. He later moved to West Bromwich Albion, where he played out the remainder of his career. In August 2006 he was sacked as manager of Clyde over allegations he made racist remarks, which were later proved to be unfounded. [1]
Roberts won six caps for England.
