Absolute legend of a guy. RIP Bobby. Had the pleasure of reading his biography and it gave me immense inspiration the way he battled with cancer time and time again with so little fuss.

Why are Newcastle at the centre of attention of all this? He isn't from Newcastle, doesn't speak in a Geordie accent and only managed them for 5 years at the end of his career.
There's been nothing about Ipswich where he made his name and was most famous for.
