Quote: EAST HULL RED "I started supporting Ipswich (and still do) about 18 months before they won the FA Cup. A great manager and the team he assembled were fantastic. Muhren and Thijssen were my footballing heroes. 2 total unknowns that took the division by storm. They alongside Kevin Beattie, Paul Mariner, Brian Talbot et al were a delight to watch.
Sir Bobby, is a true legend of the game and such a gent. The tribute the BBC did to him at the 2007 sports personality awards was such a tear-jerker.
RIP Sir Bobby, you'll be missed'"
Funny that. I'm a City fan who started supporting St Helens that year.
Bobby Robson was a true gent and unfortunately one of a diminishing breed in any sport or any walk of life for that matter.
