I am Bryan Robson, Global Ambassador, Manchester United.
I’ve have been a professional footballer for 25 years, and then I’ve stayed in football,
went on to be a manager and now as I say Global Ambassador for Manchester United.
It was funny because I was presenting Manchester United's Under 21s, that
won the league, and I was presenting them at Old Trafford with a trophy and there was
a sort of a photo from so behind me and just above and I saw the crown and it was a lot
worse than what I actually believed it was and so I thought well I've seen a lot of celebrities,
I've got a few friends who had hair transplants and I thought well why not myself.
20, 25 years ago if I'd started going, you know, a bit bald then I think I would have
been really dubious, but it's because I've got friends, and a lot of seen people like
Wayne have it done over the years that you're a bit more confident about, well this is worth
going through because it does actually work, and so that's why I'm over in Dublin and I've
selected HRBR.
I'm sorta apprehensive him one way but really excited in another way because you know within
six months a year and that crown is gone I'm gonna be a delighted man.
Things have moved along quite smoothly through the day you know and now I'm in the planting
room where the nurses have been, so I’ve been implanting it into the head.
So you know, so that that's been an experience in itself.
Because it's different to any of the sort of medical operation, that type of thing,
that you have.
Because normally you've got to starve yourself and you're not allowed to eat anything where
at least I could have a real good breakfast this morning.
You’ve even got films to watch while you’re getting the treatment, yeah you know so.
It's pretty relaxed and you know you’re fairly comfortable.
At certain times when you get certain parts of the medication you feel a little bit there
groggy and as if you want to go to sleep.
Well, that's pretty good cause it's it seems to make the treatment go that bit quicker.
It’s been a longer day than what I actually thought it would be but it's been worthwhile.
We go about 3,800 implants into where I actually need it.
The staff were really pleasant.
They were good to work with.
The clinic is immaculate, everything that they do before they treat you is immaculate
with cleanliness.
I'm going to go back to the hotel.
I'll be spraying every 20 minutes so it's going to be a long night, but the wife's come
across with me she's been sleeping all afternoon so we’ll probably look, watch a couple of
firms and then she’ll keep reminding me every 20 minutes that it's gotta be done.
I don't think it's a wow situation at this moment of time, but I am hoping that you know
within six months when you know you look after it and you do all the treatment and the aftercare
and hopefully in six months time I'm going to be going wow, that is really good, and
you know that that is what I was after.
They all look great.
Last night when it got to around about three o'clock, half three, it was a little bit hard
work, trying to stay awake so then I could do the spraying.
But in the end I set me alarm clock on the telephone that kept waking me up every half
hour and then me wife helped me to spray it.
She's in bed sleep because to be fair to her she did stay up with me all night.
She was doing the hosing down.
Well I don't think people, are a little bit shy to sort of talk about your appearance.
It was always like that's a girly thing, especially in football, that's a girly thing, and why
do you do that.
Ye know if you're a bloke, you’re much more like a macho, you wanna be a macho man rather
than somebody who’s had something like this done.
So I think when you talk about it gives other people a lot more confidence to say, well
that sportsman or that person in the showbiz, celebrity world, is actually had it done so,
why shouldn't I have done.
