Sir Bobby Robson has died.

I don't know a single football fan, regardless of the club they support, who had anything at all bad to say about the man. Given the way the current generation of footballers seem to behave, I don't think we'll see his like again soon.

He was a twat




Just kidding. The bloke was a legend. Its such a shame. I've been reading some football history bits and bobs like his Ipswich team getting a standing ovation at St Ettiene by the opposing fans. RIP Sir Bobby. :cry:

Yes, but you're missing the point. I have probably not heard of most, (if not all) of the "thousands of people" who will die today, but I have heard of Sir Bob, and like many others admired both his managerial skills and his attitude, both during his career and whilst he repeatedly battled cancer.

The fact that I've not heard one bad word about him, (before his death) means that he was probably a nice guy who is going to be missed. Mainly by football fans? Possibly. But that still doesn't warrant your comment.

Yeah a nice guy, but I'm not sad in the slightest if I'm honest, it happens to everyone, better just to raise a glass and say 'to a true gent' :)

Was dissapointed when I heard the news earlier, and I can only echo whats already been said above, never heard a bad word about him.

Italia 90 was my favourite world cup ever. I'd just turned eleven when it was on. I just don't get as excited these days.
