Visually the exterior appearance is more than acceptable for book's age,and even internally, the book is in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation.It is only the exterior faults described,that prevent a higher grading. Revered in Newcastle and the North-East,Sir Bobby Robson is a man whose fame knows no boundaries and who enjoys phenomenal popularity. His playing days with Fulham and West Brom in the 1950s and 60s,his twenty England caps and his brilliant management career over the past thirty-eight years mean that he has inspired generations of fans.He has been witness to some of the most historic sporting moments throughout his incredible career,and in his book remembers epic incidents from the 'Hand of God' to the tears of Gazza.He also relives leading England through two World Cups,and the pain of coming within a penalty kick of the 1990 World Cup final.Sir Bobby's story is a rich and diverse one and this autobiography will celebrate his remarkable life.
