Sir Bobby Robson, what can I say? This legendary man took English football to another level, with his inquisitive ideas about the game and his knowledge of the game, brought a side who was under need of managment and development back into the top league and not only that he signed so many great players. Bobby Robson was a true hero to mankind. His courage and hope and determination - that showed when he managed Ipswich Town - shone through when he was diagnosed with his tragic illness. Even when he was ill, Sir Bobby thought of others and not himself, when he raised loads of money for a great cause. Sir Bobby shall be greatly remembered. He is my hero. He is a true Geordie.
