oafcprozac Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 (edited) couldnt believe how much he has changed when i watched that england germany game on sunday such a shame... a massive loss RIP sir!!!!!! a REAL sir aswell... Was discussing that with my wife (a nurse), it was the steroids and pain killers, a truly monumental effort to make it the game and it was very emotional seeing the state he was in. Unfortunately when I asked my wife's opinion on how long he looked to have left, she shook her head and said 'a matter of days at the most', sadly she was all too right. RIP Sir Bobby, I hope for the good of your memory NUFC can pull themsleves together, on and off the field...

ghostofcecere Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 R.I.P Sir Bobby, a true gentleman and a real football man. The dignity you showed when being hounded by the press as England manager was an example to us all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 One of the very few people (with the exception of Craig Bellamy, which says more about him than about Robson) who you couldn't find anyone to say a bad word about. Funnily enough I was reading Stuart Pearce's autobiography last night and of course he was singing his praises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 A proper man and one who deserved his knighthood. His book is a great read and dipicted the man he was to a tee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angusD Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 absolutely gutted. A true gentleman. Passionate, humble, polite and funny. Lived for football and I could listen to him talk about football for hours. A hero in every sense of the word and a role model for all young footballers/managers/humans I hope we have a min silence or applause on first game of season, it is more than deserved. RIP Sir Bobby, you'll never be forgotton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longtimeblue Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Sad news, People die all the time and it's one of those things. Felt it alot more with Sir Bobby, came across as one of footballs/lifes good guys and all round nice fella. real shame RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosa Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Really sad news. His attitude to his illness was awe-inspiring - he didn't have a shred of self-pity,in every interview he gave he just kept saying how lucky he considered himself and what a great life he'd had, and the way he threw himself into fundraising in his final months summed up the kind of person he was.

Oafc88 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I remember his time up at newcastle more than the rest of his career due to my age, and was desperate for newcastle to win something while he was up there as he always came across as a good guy!

laticsmad Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Gutted really! My first, and perhaps greatest, footballing memory was seeing Bobby Robson take us to world cup semi-final in 1990 only to be cheated by you know who!! RIP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
