Bye Bye Sir Bobby

2nd Post in a few hours

Former England manager Sir Bobby Robson died peacefully at home after a long battle with cancer.

Today is a really sad day for the whole world. Mexico 86 and Italia 90 were the years I fell for the game and without the likes of Butcher, Lineker, Shilton and Gazza under the instruction and guidance of a real great we would never have joined as one nation and share in another close heart ache.

One Man that will forever be missed and respected
