Sir Bobby Robson RIP

[Pauro 76]

Loved his positive attitude in dealing with cancer. A real inspiration.

Normally when someone famous dies, you get the usual flurry of sick joke texts. No danger of that, everyone seems to respect the man. I like that text.

remember an incident before drawn 1-1 game v ireland in italia 90 .. english fans were booing him before game as he came onto pitch and irish fans starting chanting " there's only one bobby robson " " bobby bobby give us a wave "

he stopped on pitch walked towards irish fans and starting waving & applauding . r.i.p another old school manager who loved the game :ball:

Didn't realise this thread was on here:o

A true legend. Not many Mag legends that I've time for but Sir Bobby is one of them. I meant him on flight home from Newcastle once and he stopped to talk to anyone who had a question for him and signed autographs for people even with his arm in a sling. A real gentleman.

R.I.P Bob. We'll all miss you.
