Bobby Robson loses battle with cancer

Some years ago we were on a pre-season trip in Belgium/Holland watching City. There was a group of us having a beer in one the the bars that fronted the main square in Maarstrich and Bobby Robson walked past with his Sporting Lisbon (or was it Porto) players. The bar owner asked him to come in and have a word with us all. We talked football with him for around two hours before he left.

What a gentleman. He will be missed.
 
That's just desperately sad, what a lovely, lovely man Bobby was.

It's worth taking a look at this clip from Sports Personality of the Year in 2007, when he was given a special award, to see how greatly he was appreciated: <a class="postlink" href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tv_and_radio/sports_personality_of_the_year/7703189.stm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tv_and_ ... 703189.stm</a>

What a man.
