Just heard on radio at work, bobby robson has died

Can't really stand the current day game and don't really have any interest, but bobby was one of the best when I used to follow the game.

LONDON — Former England and Newcastle manager Bobby Robson died on Friday at the age of 76 after a long battle with cancer.
Robson, who had been fighting cancer for a number of years, led England to the World Cup semi-finals in 1990 before leaving to manage a host of top European clubs including PSV Eindhoven, Sporting Lisbon, Porto, Barcelona and finally his boyhood team Newcastle.
A statement issued on behalf of his family said: "It is with great sadness that it has been announced today that Sir Bobby Robson has lost his long and courageous battle with cancer.
"He died very peacefully this morning at his home in County Durham with his wife and family beside him.
"Sir Bobby's funeral will be private and for family members only.
"A thanksgiving service in celebration of Sir Bobby's life will be held at a later date for his many friends and colleagues.
"Lady Robson and the family would very much appreciate it if their privacy could be respected at this difficult time."
As a player, Robson was a key member of the Fulham and West Brom team during the 1950s and 1960s and also won 20 caps for England.
His first managerial role came at Fulham, but he made his name during a successful reign at Ipswich from 1969 to 1982.

As a Newcastle fan it is a big shame, but also good that he did have his tribute match before he shuffled off.

At least we made it up to him a little bit after treating him like shit.

Solid manager, and seemed like a really genuine and nice bloke too. Thumbs Up

Well that's no fun.

The death of celebrities isn't really news when they're not kiddy fiddlers or anything else which makes for good jokes. Sad

I'm sure that the recycled text message jokes, will be winging their way round by early afternoon.

Aint that the truth !

I remember the headlines when he called the (at the time) nations favourite Geordie, Paul Gasgoine, "daft as a brush".
They piled into him .. how dare he call our cuddly little genious 'daft' !!!!! ... the silly old fool. !

What an accurate reader of men he proved to be !

RIP
