Sir Bobby Robson passed today, 31st July, after a years-long battle with cancer. He was a man who had managed England and many club sides, including Ipswich, Barcelona, Newcastle and PSV, with great success. Bobby was a generous, enthusiatic man with a ready wit and a mischievous twinkle in his eye. He could be tough - no one survives in football management that long without being tough.
But the warmth of the tributes being paid to him speaks volumes about him as a man - from people like Sir Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho, Graham Taylor, FC Barcelona, Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer - the list is growing. He was a truly great human being who touched and enriched many lives. He is at rest now, a deserved rest and the football world and the world in general mourns the passing of this wonderful human being.
