I remember when Newcastle FC sacked Sir Bobby. Even though I think he was heartbroken, he still attended signings and appearances that were previously booked. The T.V. interviewer asked what he thought about their decision to fire him, and he said something along the lines of: "I love Newcastle, I'll always love Newcastle and wish them the best. I don't want to comment on it. I came here today because I didn't want to let the fans down". That's a man. That's a gentleman. Rest in peace.

We need more Gazzas in today’s game

Yes, more players that beat their wives.

'Garth get warmed up' brilliant. God Bless you Sir Bobby.

I knew Gazza when I was a young man between the ages of 14 and 22 he was a quiet lad never kicked around on the streets to much was always at football training . Back then nobody called him Gazza that was an invention of the press years later when he started to come to their attention in the very early part of his career. He was known as Gasa by eveyone and called Gasa by everyone ..I remember his first "free car " sponsored by some dealership when he was in the reserve team for Newcastle it was a shitty brown coloured Renault 5 , he was dead chuffed pulled over at a junction when he saw me behind him in my equally shitty ford fiesta and jumped out and shouted " like the car Pete , I just got it " I said I didnt know you had passed your test and he replied "I haven't laughed that naughty laugh of his jumped in and drove off... he always was a genuine lad and character . I can't claim to be mates with him or nothing he was a few years younger than me and we lived on the same estate in Dunston way back when ...but I wish him peace and happiness , he deserves a happy life and good health because he is one of the good people out there in the world (football aside ) I really hopes he beats his demons and alcohol and lives a happy life without the pain that is so well documented by the press...good luck Gasa and best wishes from an aquaintance of 30+ years ago ....

Brian I didn’t even get past the first 5 sentences ! And you called it,well done !!

Reportedly Bobby Robson kept calling Bryan Robson "Bobby," until he said "You're Bobby, I'm Bryan!" Truly eccentric manager and his managerial record speaks for itself, as do the many anecdotes about what a lovely man he was to know.

I won't pretend Im qualified to pass comment on the tactical abilities of Bobby Robson, but of one thing I'm sure of my capacity to pass judgement, he was of the finest quality as a human being.

Everyone has a hilarious gazza story. He's a brilliant, kind hearted man, crippled by alcoholism. I don't think people should ever give up hope on him. He's helped so many and a lot of people owe him favours

When england when out to germany in 1990 i remember been just as gutted for bobby robson as i was for myself, his passion was infectious

Bobby Robson sorely missed!

I've met gazza several times in London and in Spain and he is the friendliest nicest person in the world

I was lucky enough to meet Sir Bobby before a home game against Wolves in 2004. I was 13 at the time and me and about 20 other kids were waiting outside the stadium for Bobby to sign our programmes. One kid got really excited and started shouting "Bobby! Bobby! Will you sign my programme?" Bobby looks at the kid and says, "what do you say?" and the kid, a bit embarrassed, says "sorry. Please can you sign my programme?" Bobby smiles and signs all of our programmes. He was a true gent of the game and I was heartbroken when he got the sack.

To Robert, Best wishes, Bobby Hundreds. xXx

The Bobby Hundreds story had me laughing out loud :)

We lost the Semi

Ipswich took him on as manager who was unproven. The gamble paid off and he kept them in the 1st. Div. ( there was no Premier League then ) A couple of seasons later he had created a team that qualified for European football 10 years on the trot. An outstanding coach and a very warm - hearted individual. We won´t see the like again.

Probably the most natural talent we've ever produced. Unreal talent in his prime.

Bobby, Jack Charlton and Brian Clough all missed

Bobby Robson probably the most respected manager in English football

gazza wat a legend

"I took on Mattaeus, I can handle Moat and a Fishing Trip"

"He wasn't the best with names." LOL true. He once called Bryan Robson, "Bobby".

I am italian so if we talk about football i am a teacher without a doubt 😆😆 i was wondering so many times why england did not win european cup or world cup with so many great and fantastic players that s a mistery to me

Bobby Hundreds 😂

Awesome

Gazza is a legend

"bobby hundreds" 🤣

Haha gazza was great

Bobby Robson was a good manager and great footballing coach . The press was cruel to him to make copy. None of them really knew about football. I can bet a reporter has never played football.

hahahaha yes Gazza!

Gascoigne and Hoddle were the two greatest english talents i saw. And Gascoigne could be way better if he did not have so many personal problems.

ukfirebird He could win more titles, be more recognized, could have a solid career, could've even be nominated to a ballon d'or or best world player. He had talent to achieve this. But he was most of the times overweight, had lots of personal issues. And lets be honest, english players dont impose a high standard.

how about signing the petition to get Jimmy Greaves a gong before it's too late

Ki beh cosco cobbler ceo kobey hobey reh 💀⚽

Gazza's story is more about himself than Bobby Robson. The latter at least had some class about him.

And we lost that game, oh if Gazza had been able to just grow up
