Sir Bobby Robson dead

[silverlining]

One of football's true gentlemen

[ToxtethTerror]

I almost cried watching the news, football is full of so many wankers these days that it was nice watching his career and how humble he was despite travelling the world and managing some top clubs. RIP Bobby.

He would have been a good lesson to all of those idiots that pined over Jade Goody. This was how a real hero handled the trauma of cancer, he just got on with it, he didnt have his every step and fart recorded for a TV show. A great man indeed.

Gutted about this. One of my favourite people in football. Always a true gent. A fighter till the end. You'll Never Walk Alone Bobby. Take your place at the football greats table at the great gig in the sky.

RIP.

 

A true legend of the game, and one of a handful who was genuinely liked by fans of all clubs. A man deserving of the utmost respect in my book.

Sad day..

 

Michael Owen should hang is head...put £££$$ in front of trying to help the Geordies regain a rightful place in premiership..

 

the difference between old skool and new astounds!

The word that keeps coming up to describe him is gentleman. Not a bad way to be remembered in an era where there are so few gentlemen left in the game. RIP Sir Bobby.

Gave me the most enjoyable football tournament of my life, followed closely by Euro 96.

 

 

As others have said, a true legend of football, and one that conducted himself with grace and class at all times, unlike so many others. People like Sir Bobby Robson never die because too many people remember them.

Great guy and a great manager. RIP Bobby.

[redrosetints]

Aw shite.

 

A great man, RIP.

[sh#t waffle]

I can't actually think of anyone else in football as universally loved as Bobby, he was just a thoroughly decent man and an excellent manager. A genuinely sad day for me.

[rondeco]

Indeed. All sentiments mentioned here I echo. A person who I loved hearing speak. He always seemed so in love with life.

Some of his quotes

 

"At least Joe Public has been very good to me. You know, he is a damned nice fellow."

 

"It wasn't the hand of God. It was the hand of a rascal. God had nothing to do with it... That day, Maradona was diminished in my eyes forever."

 

A Picture that for me sums up Sir Bobby, always smiling and enjoying the game.
