  • Will always be a legend. I was inspired by him....a talented player. Could have achieved so much more. Laurent Robert. Class.

  • This video went viral on Dar es Salaam

  • What a squad Sir Bobby assembled back then, who knows if Pardew keeps heading us in the right track we'll be back up there soon.

  • Pure class, loved watching him play, could really turn a match. I remember how frustrating he could be though not tracking back and putting in a tackle, then out of the blue he would switch on and win a match for us. Hope Ben Arfa can do something similar for us.

    Love the 2 amazing goals against Spurs(light blue shirts in video). Magic

  • Thank you for this my friend. I remember watching these videos every day before I would go out to play. They made me the player I was.

    There are some more of these, one of Nol Solano, one of Gary Speed and a couple of videos I made myself. 'newuxtreme' . I don't suppose you have any video of mine?

  • im not a newcastle fan but i remember when i was about 6 or 7 laurent robert was an absolute game changer fantastic player

  • How come he isn't more famous? This is what makes you see that there's something wrong about today's football world. I follow football like the average person, yet I didn't even hear of Robert until I accidentally discovered him here.

  • Laurent Robert and John arne Riise are my favourite left footed players. They both have plenty of power and can place it nicely. I <3 NUFC

  • what a team newcastle, lareutn robert was one of the my favourite players, he was so unrated.

  • I miss him.

  • Did I deam it or did I once see him tracking back and tackel somebody??????????

  • Even Roberto Carlos would want that left foot.

  • definitely the most entertaining player i have ever seen

    definitely

    there will never be another robert.. :(

  • What a left foot that boy had...priceless memories with the entertainment and excitement he brought.

  • Now that lad can hit a ball!!!

  • What a guy! Reminds me off the good times!

  • This man could strike a football so sweetly !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • What a fantastic time those years were for the toon army. So nice and yet sad to see the picture of smiling Sir Bobby. What a legend who helped us out a great deal.

  • his freekicks were ridiculous...keepers were abused

  • thank you robert a bit lazy but a great player none the less, just blame souness for ruining his career, its really sad to see great players like this ruined for the rest of his career (man city and chelsea the most guilty) what a player you were. but toronto, larissa, even DERBY so sad to see a player like this with a really promising career completely and hopelessly ruined by a shit manager

  • @toonarmy4ever1021 whys it souness fault his carrer was ruined

  • @thetoon99 because nearly as soon as souness came in he fell out with him and sold him to play in greece or canada or wherever. Fair enough when he sold bellamy he stayed at top clubs so his career wasnt really fazed but even olivier bernard said souness ruined his and roberts career because they never really went to a top club

  • @toonarmy4ever1021 yea he feel out with souness as souness never played hiom much whys that souness fault, robert then went to portsmouth and had a bad attiude while there. where did bernard say this and bernard went to a top club in rangers.

    robert is like 37 now he was allways a very good player so in his 30s he was bound to play for smaller teams

  • @thetoon99 well yes i get what youre saying, but he should have played robert really, there wasnt really anyone better than him on the left

  • @toonarmy4ever1021 its his choice who to play its not his fault robert went down hill ok

  • Inconsistent but on his day was one of the best in the league. Such superb technique and skill.

  • This was the Newcastle i loved. I hope one day we can get back to the european nights and challenging for the title. Who knows maybe Ben Arfa could fill Robert's boots, weve been lacking someone who can do something special entirely out of nothing. I wish we could see him run out on to the pitch at SJP once more be it for Newcastle or any other team.

  • @MelmanCam3l I would love Ben Arfa to be a great player for us, but he's injured again and I'm wondering if maybe he's been permanently damaged by that thug De Jong. It would be a shame for us not to see the best of Ben Arfa, at least for a couple of seasons before he got sold!

    I'd love the Toon to get Sturridge and Bassong in.. More chance of Carlton Cole and Matt Upson unfortunately.

  • The guy specialized in 30+ yard free kicks. Best lefty I have seen after Robert Carlos.

  • Sir Bobby's signing! :)

  • Thanks Sir Bobby Robson for bringing this guy to Newcastle!

  • 3:53 fucking insane goal. better than any zidane or scholes volley that I've ever seen. and I don't even support newcastle or whatever.

  • THIS MAN IS A LEGEND

  • GUN of a left foot.

  • This guy made my toon games wort it, FANTASTIC PLAYER, he was awesome, They don't make'em like him these days... I miss him...

  • I miss Shearer, but I miss this guy so much as well. His delivery was outstanding and he weighed in with his fair share of quite spectacular goals. What a guy.

  • what's the name of music ? pls.

  • Coldplay, Clocks

  • He was a flop in Benfica

  • one of the most underrated (french) player like Malbranque or Rothen... its a shame that they werent in their national team for much much longer...

    thank you for your left.

  • Its got to be something special from here

    Shut up mate Roberts taking it, course its ganna be special like.

  • did he play for france bacuase if not then that would be a disgrace

  • Reminds me of Van Persie a bit as an Arsenal fan.

  • Am I part of the cure or am I part of the disease.... how apt (hate coldplay)

  • Such an amazing left foot... and a pretty awesome right foot too

  • Absolutely amazing video. Well done mate.

  • 5:12 absolute canonball

  • What a team Sir Bobby put together.

  • had the ability to be one of the most lazy, frustrating players ever. But those moments of magic were well, well worth it.

    I was so excited when I heard we were in for him last year. Gutted nowts happened.

  • 32 has been my fav kit number since he was here

  • hero

  • hatem ben arfa..next laurent robert

  • @makasaro Can't compare.

  • Such a hero <3 I miss the newcastle 2002-2003 squad.

  • even though im a man united fan i love that free kick he scored against pure class and also coz i hate barthez thought he was the shittest goalie ever lool..newcastle truely did get some great footballers through these premiership years such as laurent robert, faustino asprilla, shearer, david ginola, shit loads more..after sir bobby robson got sacked they fucked up when souness came in they went shit..when sir bobby lost few matches he got sacked same as hughton now..give managers a chance NUFC

  • AND HOW JUST SPECIAL!!!!

  • A god was bestowed upon Newcastle United thank you Laurent Robert.

  • this guy is the definition of tekkers.

  • the one against liverpool will live with me forever lol beeeuuuty!

  • i love LR, lol what a goal scorer... mint, miss him too Daunte

  • One of my all time favourite Newcastle players. A privilige to witness some of his goals.

  • What's the name of the song?

  • @k0munista Yeah Arfa....unlucky about that.

  • Thank you Laurent

  • At times he was a frustrating player. But when he was in the mood, he was one of the best players ever to grace the turf for us. Certainly in the 18 years I've been alive anyway.

  • I am a rock solid Newcastle United fan, always have been, always will be.

    I LOVED Laurent Robert.

    He could be exasperating but when he turned it on, oh my , magic !!! And us Geordies love that .

  • he has a gd free kick and long kick skill~

  • song guys pleaseee

  • he is my favourite player, but he had to leave when i just got my first season ticket! i remember getting his autograph on the back of my shirt while i was still wearing it.

  • fantastic player! thanks for an amazing 5 years!

  • Sir Bobby worked beautifully with Laurent, then Graeme Souness came and ruined everything for us

  • in today's market, 9.5m is a steal for that kind of talent

  • He was awesome i hope Ben Arfa can be like this, if not better

  • @russelNUFC you again? hahahahhaha you really are a sad tosser lololol. by the way, robert has nothing on ben arfa. your comment was straight garbage and sounded pathetic.

  • @tag1989 what are the chances!! ok so i'm sad? how can i be sad when i'm looking at former players off my club? and yet here is you, a Man Utd fan looking at them to? that tells me you have something for newcastle? dont worry i cant blame you for looking up such a great club like newcastle and our players;) alot of other fans seem to aswell. haaha

  • @russelNUFC theirs a simple explaination for a retard llike you to understand....

    in the other video clip a guy says "ben arfa looks like laurent robert", me not knowing who he was, I then typed him up on youtube. i then found out that he was a former newcastle faggot player. you see, unlike you i actually research before talking shit like you :)

    and yes you are a sad tosser, you fat ugly geordie cunt :) and if newcastle are so good, then how comes they were relegated a year ago hahahahaha.

  • @tag1989 HAHA stop talking shit!!! ooooo hard man you like?, so hard your putting smiley faces on the end of your sentences. Fcuk1ing bender.

    fat? i;m in perfect shape...unlike your mams hips, haaa yeehaaa

  • @russelNUFC a geordie in perfect shape?? HA plz dont make me laugh. all you do is sit on the couch with your fat mother eating custard creams, you fat geordie twat.

    and lets just get off the subject of mothers, cause i just got off yours :).

  • @tag1989 haha! al be onest that did make me laugh. but your just been ignorant now if you think all geordies are fat.

  • @russelNUFC LOLOLOL TROLLED

  • had a panick attack when he scored that belta against liverpool in fa cup.ha ha cheers to the scouse paramedics for the oxygen.

  • he was just like david ginola, what a legend, shame we havn't got a set piece specialist like him anymore

  • the best there was, the best there ever will be ( on his day he was the best winger in europe)

  • @fraz1892 You're 12 years old aren't you? No adult who ever watched football, would make that ludicrous statement.

  • @williamkanegateshead nope im 20 and clearly been to more important games than you ever have, he was brilliant when we beat man u 4-3, he singlehandedly destroyed tottenham 4-0 and dont forget he turned the game at highbury in 2001 to send us top of the table. you my friend belong in the 70's gordon lee era as you dont like 'superstars' well didnt we do well when souness cleared out our flamboyant players you stupid prick

  • @fraz1892 20 and you still know fuck all!

  • i need to see the newcastle tottenham 4-0 game full highlights in HD right now.

    i need to see robert's goals.

    but i cant find the vid.

  • 4 people are stupid..

  • he went to Pompey :)

  • What a player!

  • I wish these types of entertainin players would come back to St james

  • That's why we're shite. People think the likes of that lazy twat are great players!

    Laurent, Laurent Robert. Everyone knows he's shite!

  • @williamkanegateshead shut your hole, that man is one of the reasons we got to, and proved ourselves in the champions league. bet he wasnt just a lazy twat when he belted in a free kick against man u, or destroyinh tottenham singlehandedly. players like him or ginola is what made newcastle great, so be quiet you deluded fool

  • @fraz1892 You've proven you know nothing about football by comparing that shite to Ginola. He wasn't fit to tie Ginola's boots. Now shut the fuck up, cretin.

  • this kid took better freekicks than roberto fuckin carlos!

  • i think he was very underestimated when he was on benfica...i´m really surprised about some of this goals weren´t on those videos like"top goal ever" or somethin:S how is that possible?

    i´ve seen here some goals i´ve never seen in my life....where laurent robert is playing now?

  • please come back!

  • some of the goals here were ridicoulous, if it was messi or ronaldo scoring these goals people would be saying how great they were.

    Robert left foot is one of the greatest strike i have ever seen. He would of been a world beater if he had the work rate

  • Boy, what a left foot this guy had!

  • simply the most naturally gifted player i've seen grace the club, yes he was lazy and didn't work back etc but when you can manipulate a football like he can people should have just shut up, sat back and watched in awe. thanks laurent for the crackers

  • he did a exact same free kick like that for benfica vs porto type in laurent robert goal benfica vs porto and what it much futher away from this on i loved him why did u a leave lool im a benfica supporter

  • It saddens me that Newcastle will struggle to buy players of Robert's quality due to the ridiculously tight budgets the club has been receiving from Ashley.

  • any manc mugs who wanna go on about rooney or ronaldo, this is much better than anything by those two

  • BANG! What a left foot...

  • We've never replaced him, he was a fantastic player. he was a typical bobby robson signing, he was effective but entertaining(Along with bellamy, kluivert and milner) wish we had robert, solano on the wings now(both about 10years younger). i miss him and his ability alot.

  • the best nufc will ever have

  • souness was a complete fucking dick. he cut off the supply to shearer by benching robert and then fell out with bellamy cos he played him wide right. Terrible manager. All the people that got on Roberts back used to piss me off as his assists and goal threat was crucial to the team

  • he couldn't half strike the ballk

  • he was great but hes no peter lovenkrands

  • why the FUCK! did we ever get rid of him :S

  • Thank you Laurent that was a 5 great years for Newcastle

  • he was a bit of a moaner and a idiot at times...but when he got on with it it and got his head down he was an amaizing player to watch...i remember his performances against arsenal infa cup and premiership wen we played them 3 times in like10 days...set up so many of shearers goals and scored sum of the best goals ever seen in newcastle shirt

  • i remember being at that game against tottenham and those two belters (from 3:38) that he scored. shearer also scored two and it was the best match i ever saw live

  • can you believe he wants to come back. :D

  • I had a season ticket when we had graeme Souness, it was Roberts Last season, it was amazing watching him play, but souness left him on the bench alot, which was met with chants from the too-n faitful. "LAURENT LAURENT ROBERT EVERYBODY KNOWS HIS NAME"

  • I love him 2003 was my childhoods best football memory. I could cry watching Jenas, Dyer, Speed, Solano and Robert play together again.

  • Comment removed

  • This is the best soccer clip I have ever watched in youtube and I just come watch it over and over again!

  • other fans u agree or not he is a player any club wishes he have played for...nufc will find some one like him soon

  • omg 2:21

  • Lightning does strike twice.

    He and Ginola had the potential to be world beaters, and on their day, they were.

  • Brilliant on his day. Tore Spurs apart on his own in one game.

  • I really hope he does come back, quality player probably one of the best left wingers we've ever had!

  • omg....3:57

  • the best best best nufc ever had. wht sunas wht ever his name fucked us up jenas,robert,bellamy,solano...­wht the fuck did he do...pls some if u know that stupid gram sounes tell him to watch this clip

  • he had as good a five years as any in the toon, but there must be a reason he has left 8 or 9 clubs in the last 3 years, summat has gone wrong for robert, i still have him on the back of my shirt and love him but im being cautious. give him a trial chris but dont rush him, as good as he was, he was always controversal

  • man i know he is not good as he used to be but man this guy can shoot and cross the ball

  • please Chris bring this guy back he's exactly what we need to take us back to the premier league. And if he wants to come back which he does give him a chance and see if he's still got it

  • if he'd be tracking back all the time lack all them fucking wankers at the match wanted he wouldnt have scored all them wonderful goals or set up countless ones for shearer

    After watching Nicky Butt for a few years youve got someone who tracks back and puts his foot in but is absolutely shit.

  • hes 34 would love it if we got him back in jan .. to help us get back in the prem . dun nw wat his pace would be lk tho .. but hes still a legend goal scorer.. .. .. .. TOON ARMY

  • 9 + 32 = my most favourite equation, if we signed him then we'd be the highest scoring team in the championship!! Bring Back Robert!!!

  • Bring the french wonder back to the toon, he's 34, but what a Legend, the next roberto carlos ;) HOWAY THE TOON!

  • Please sign him now Hughton

  • Best shooter ever...

  • hero

  • what did nufc do...........send him wow

  • Great video mate, I still have my Newcastle t-shirt with the number 32 on it... the good ole days lol..

  • he is my hero

  • mne to

  • im a newcastle season ticket holder and i sit in the croud only wishing he were out there

  • @DaunteCulpeperLegand me to bro

  • @DaunteCulpeperLegand u and me brother

  • @DaunteCulpeperLegand no doubt rolbert had his good moment but he was a very lazy player... he played when he felt like it

  • my favourite winger ever class at freekicks and souness recked his carear after an argument he's retired now

  • oh whatever happened to the newcastle heroes.

    what do we have now. a bunch of overpaid has beens.

    robert was easily better then ginola for us.

    all thanks to shitty souness this mess we re in stems from.

    we shd stil be back up next season.

    HOWAY THE LADS

  • we better go up like i spent all me money on a season ticket lol

  • lol i know. howay the lads

  • i just have to say. he is the best!!!!!!

  • Oh MAN !!!

    What a talent he had !!!

    Why did it all go wrong ?

    Come on Graeme let' s knack this current squad !!!

    Please God !! Let someone who cares buy the team and then ANYTHING is possible !!!

  • One of my favorite players for Newcastle in the past 20 years and one of only a handful that would get you out of your seat when he got the ball along with Gascoigne, Ginola, Asprilla and Beardsley. Took us to the Champions League and I will always remember the two Spurs strikes. Arrogant? Maybe. Lazy? Yes. Watch-winner? Of Course.

  • Id rather have him in the team than Damien Duff though.

  • Proof that:

    1) anyone can look good in a highlights reel

    2) if you take 2,453,175 shots at goal, the odd one will sneak in.

  • what a sweet left foot

  • We need somebody like robert just now, we need pace on the wings, and somebody who has the ability to put a good ball in the box, or have a good strike at goal like he did

  • and then Graeme Souness came along and ruined everything

  • Exactly !!1

    This is the best squad I've ever inherited !!!

    Yeah right !!

    Now I'll dismantle it and ruin it !!

  • he wasn't a really a player in a defensive role, more a winger or a second striker

  • Lazy, yet amazing.

  • lazy defender. but the guy was a wizard in other respects.

  • he was a left mid :S

  • Nickolaus, how can you blame our defensive failures on Robert?

    Bar Woodgate, out defence was not half as good as the rest of the team. If we had a better defence we would have won the league.

    Robert was a quality player for us, a true character and one that will be remembered. Scored some awesome goals too

  • Never tracked back and left us wide open but great when we were against weaker teams...

  • no,he is not playing for larissa anymore.he left from the team from last january because our coach didn t trust him at all

  • Great player... played well when he was on PSG too! Reviens au Parc :D

  • he was mint for us

  • he was a great player everytime he got the ball u always thought sumthing special wud happen. his 2 goals against tottenham were pure class.

  • Personally my favourite left winger, creator, playmaker & what a bloody strike!!!

  • on his day he was better than ginola

  • he will be missed..! He scored sum belting goals..!

  • them were the days wii bobby :)

  • anyone know where he is now? has he retired? iv been trying to find out for ages. if anyone could help that would be great

  • He plays for a greek team called larissa

  • see i thought that, but went on their website and he isnt listed as a player.

  • saintlucasleslie, he hasn't retired; he's currently playing for Larissa. Go on wikipedia to find out more information about him.

  • aaronveer, i went on wikipedia and saw he was playing for larissa of greece. however, i went on their website and it didnt mention him or list him as one of their players for the forthcoming season. thats why i wondered if he had retired.
