RIP Mr Robson, Legend is a word too often used in sporting terms, in your case it is not only merited, it was earned !
This is said a lot but it really is FACT that Sir Bobby is a true legend not only of the game but of life
I had the pleasure of meeting him just over a year ago,the company i work for sells mobility scooters and he came to buy one(ended up doing some advertising for us but anyway i digress) anyway he went in the boardroom got the full works obviously its Sir Bobby Robson i was so jealous because the directors who dealt with him didn't even like football so i was pretty steaming thinking obvoiusly he's not well so will just go straight away, but when he came out the meeting he walked around the whole building speaking to every member of staff which is around 200 taking photos and everything then on his way out he was obviously quite exhausted so he sat at the desk opposite me and we just talked about football and newcaslte and whatever else fo0r about 10 minutes it was pretty surreal and an absolute pleasure i still have the piece of paper that i got him to sign on my desk "To Raymond best of luck Bobby Robson" and its something i will cheerish for rest of my life,the man was an abosolute gent .The world has lost a wonderful man may he rest in peace xx
