Good on ya Ian!! I remember being a naive 19 year old in Townsville back in 1997 and I seen you and your partner at the rockpool and I hopped out of the pool and stared at you guys cause I was uncomfortable. I'm disgusted at myself for that and I'll never get the chance to apologize properly and shake your hand so I'm doing it now here in public. Much love man, I'm proud of you and you were a great footy player ❤🍻✌
I was fortunate enough to be coached by the great Ian Roberts as a kid when he was in Wigan. Legend of a player but chose to give up his free time to work with young players.
Awesome person, awesome legend of rugby league. Remember as a youngster in New Zealand, reading the Rugby League Week magazine and Ian Roberts, Paul Sironen, David Gillespie, Trevor Gillmeister. Roberts was just a hard working, hard hitting bloke and no steps backwards. Complete legend sir.
My Dad told me when I was playing 35 years ago that Ian was the player I needed to model my game on. The hardest man in the game. When he came out he broke every mold on perceived masculinity. I did however copy his dance moves. These were more attainable.
Signed my card as a kid;!! What a Living Legend! I born in UK to Brah' . . Cornwall!! Love ya' Ian" that's what I said to you as u signed my card mate!
Got bashed by Graig young and his partner Robert stone because they worked as detective’s at st George police station’,,I’m die hard manly supporter Ian Roberts was a machine/ now legend on and off the field he can play N party

Loved watching Ian Roberts play when I was kid. The guy was a monster and my favourite forward.

Great interview. Legend for breaking down the barriers and being selflessly brave to help others.
Ian Roberts was a great Rugby League player, a trailblazer, and is a national treasure.
Great chat
Roberts was a great player in a tough era
Seems a good bloke as well 👍
Absolutely
More footy talk of this Mascot legend would’ve been appreciated. What a player he was…Pre the groin injuries he was something special.
Huge respect for Ian and what he stands for.
"anyone wanna' get to Ian!?!, gotta get through me first"! I learnt that from my older Brother!
Signed my card as a kid;!! What a Living Legend! I born in UK to Brah' . . Cornwall!! Love ya' Ian" that's what I said to you as u signed my card mate!
Legend!
My favorite player of all time.. hope to meet him one day.
M8 you were there when Bob the great Fulton was there!
Could only be more of a legend if he played for Parra 💪
What a great man
Poor Gary Jack from the Tigers hasn't been the same since Roberts punched the holy shite out of him.🤣🤣🤣
Ian Roberts, what a Man. Legit.
Absolutely love listening to you blokes. All the way from Denmark💪🏽🔥
best of luck for you mr roberts
Hard and honest. Sensational human.
Awesome player for WIGAN hard as nails
Great person even better role model,for all people 🎉🎉😢
Wow theseGreat Britain born players are seriously tough men Jim Mills Cliff Watson Ian Roberts Adrian Morley and plenty more Respect.
great interview
The Craig Young story playing soccer story has to be a stich up.
So the story goes, Garry Jack made a remark about Ian's sexuality during a game. Did not end well for him.
He changed a lot people’s attitudes
