Off topic RIP Bobby Robson

[Essexgungefan]

A great football manager and ambassador to the game who'll be sorely missed

Oh no! This was the first I found out about it

Very sad

I got the impression he was a very nice bloke

[muckypup]

Yep, top guy. He'll be missed.

Here here, such a shame that they had to parade him around the pitch last weekend looking so ill.

I'lll remember him in his better days, they dont make fellas like him anymore a great manager and a gent with it.

RIP Sir Bobby

RIP to a footy legend and one of the only guys to ever come close enough to bringing a major trophy back to the English isles since the 66 World Cup.

I'm not a huge footy fan - but I do love to watch a good game now and then.... He always seemed to be spot-on with his comments about the games I watched and he had an infectious enthusiasm that I've not seen anywhere else.... seemed like he knew the game inside out....

RIP sir Bobby

In fairness I just think it shows the class of the man, he was there still working raising money for his charities. Class.

In the wortld of prima donnas that is football today, Bobby Robson was a true gentleman. His loss will be sorely felt.

Seconded.

Good to see Alan Shearer and Sir Bob getting on so well in his final days.
