Great man, my mothers friend was his mistress a few years back when he had marital problems, and I meet him a few times a lovely warm, genuine man. I still rate him as one of the best managers of all times apart from a dodgy period he had with some 2nd rate team from an area of East Anglia we don''t talk about.

Much respect Sir Bobby, and god bless him and his family at this difficult time

Respect indeed.  My earliest football memories include the World

Cup at Italia ''90 at an age where the Ipswich connection wasn''t

clear.  Good man...

He might be a scummer but IMO Sir Bobby deserves respect and admiration for everything he has done in football and in his life.Theres only one Bobby Robson

Ditto EM. A top guy.

Once met Sir Bob in Sardinia during the build up to the 1990 World Cup. A top man, he was quite happy to spend a few minutes chatting with me (wearing a City shirt and having had probably had a bit too much to drink!!) about Englands chances in the tournament.

Certainly does put things into perspective.

Respect.

Respect to Sir Bobby. Appears to be a good and dignified man.

I will overlook the Ipswich connection.......just this once.

[Unhinged Canary 375]

I''m with Ween. A Decent, honest bloke in the game. Sadly, now a dying breed with all the money involved in everything these days!Respect to Bobby!

[Unhinged Canary 375]

Apologies. That was worded really badly. Not meant to be insensitive in any way. [:$]

Always seems a genuine good bloke who wears his heart on his sleeve. Difficult to find anything not to like about him, even though he tried by managing that lot down the road.Very sad.

My Dad has met Sir Bobby when he worked at the hospital.. he shook my dads hand, asked his name and asked to be called Bobby.. my dad was just a car park attendant at that time getting a bit of extra money... when bobby was done Visiting at the N and N he went over to my dad again, shook his hand and thanked him for all his help and wished him well

 

what a proper Gentleman!

I think we should start a national campaign to get a Bobby Robson stand at Wembley... he is one of the games great managers....

jas :)

All the very best Sir Bobby, you are gentleman in every sense and an ambassador for English football.

[ncfcstar 291]

Best wishes to Bobby, a true footballing gentleman.

Agreed. Top top man.

[First Wazzock 902]

Sad news indeed.

A true gentleman and legend. Still doing good things even though he is facing the final whistle.

Good idea Jas about naming the Wembley stand.

I once annoyed Bobby Robson, which I always treated as a feather in my cap. But he wasn''t too grand to strike up a conversation with me in the first place, and I always had a sneaking respect for him for that.

 

[Beauseant 0]

A man for whom I have always had the utmost respect,not least because his love of the game itself transcended anything else.One of the few genuinely honest people in the game ,to my mind.

[Ivana_rubyatitz 6]

You only have to think back to the reaction he got at Sports Personality of the Year to see how much respect and esteem he is held in by his fellow professionals.  A great guy and so sad that he is slipping away.

[O.T.B.C 0]

Good luck to the legend.

Agreed most unecessary.

Very sad news indeed, I have got an awful lot of admiration and respect for Sir Bobby.

[james norwich 0]

A true gentleman and ambasador of the modern game. He was a father figure to Gazza in the world cup and one of the best managers - a true legend.

[Mello Yello 2,289]

The memory of the 1990 World Cup and the team coached by Sir Bobby Robson.....will remain with me for the rest of my life. One of the finest and most exciting football competitions I have witnessed.....(Bar watching our victory in 66, whilst sat on my Dad''s knee).

Mucho Respecto to Sir Bobby, a very fine Gentleman - and true ambassador for the game.

[Inch High aka Inchy.. 405]

Nothing that I can say that has not already been said.  Always admired the man.
