Hissing Sid 154 Posted August 7, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snuggles 0 Posted August 7, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beauseant 0 Posted August 7, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ivana_rubyatitz 6 Posted August 7, 2008 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.
