Having seen Bobby R getting a special award on BBC Sports Personality tonight, and how frail he was (he linked Sir Alex who carried his award), one has to wonder what impact if any did he make on the team. It was a really bizarre appointment: an obviously old and sick man and a novice.
The award itself was obviously a last hurrah for him. Sad and moving.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
On the way into the stadium, an elderly San Marino Steward waved us in and said "Tonight, may the best team win"
And they nearly did.
