UK-based factual distributor Dogwoof has picked up the international rights to a feature documentary about the late football manager Sir Bobby Robson.

Bobby Robson: More than a Manager was produced by London-based indie Noah Media, which has been handling promotion and roll-out of the doc across digital channels and cinemas through its Noah X distribution arm.

Dogwoof has now come on board to pitch the project – which focuses on Robson’s career as manager of England, Barcelona, Ipswich and Newcastle – to international broadcasters and streamers.

Noah X had already secured nationwide release in the UK via iTunes and Amazon, along with a theatrical run at the stadiums where Robson made his name.

Featuring exclusive interviews with football personalities Sir Alex Ferguson, José Mourinho, Pep Guardiola, Paul Gascoigne, Ronaldo, Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer, the doc charts the life of one of the game’s true greats.

Directed by Gabriel Clarke and Torquil Jones (Steve McQueen: The Man & Le Mans) and produced by John McKenna (The Fight of their Lives, Clough) and Victoria Barrell, the film has topped the charts on Amazon and iTunes since its release in June 2018. Robson passed away in 2009.
