One of the last of a dying bread of managers who wanted to manage just for the love of the game, and not to massage their egos unlike the current crop of managers. His ethos was to play good football, all the time and to win with style.
Never have fully forgiven Newcastle for the way they ended the partnership with Robson, nor can we forget the horrible press he got in 86 and 90 World Cups. What he did with Ipswich Town is the stuff of legends, and while that words seems to be thrown about without a thought these days, Sir Bobby Robson was a true legend.
He was also a gentleman off the park, with a sense of humour an love for life. He fought Cancer 5 different times and had a heart of a fighter. The English game has lost a great, and we have lost a great in the footballing world, these types of managers are getting rarer and rarer.
