SIR BOBBY ROBSON was a footballing legend. Involved in the game for sixty years - from 1950,when he joined Fulham,right up to his last charity match at St James' Park just a few days before his death - he was recognised around the world as one of the most successful managers ever.
There were plenty of triumphs - his playing career spanned almost 20 years,with 20 caps for England; as manager he captured the FA Cup and UEFA Cup with Ipswich,took England to the semi-final of the 1990 World Cup,and won the league in three European countries.But like everyone
who has spent many years in the game,Sir Bobby also had his share of drama and despair.In spite of his popularity he was sacked over the years from management positions at three clubs - Fulham,Sporting Lisbon and Newcastle United - and he was hounded by the press whilst England coach.But ever the gentleman,he remained a dignified ambassador for the sport to the end.
This illustrated celebration of Sir Bobby Robson includes stories and anecdotes from many of the most famous names in football,including Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Figo, Franz Beckenbauer, Ruud van Nistlerooy, Alan Shearer and Paul Gascoigne.It is a fitting tribute to a man who lived, loved and breathed football.
