"I feel a great deal of sadness about the death of the boss, Bobby Robson. From here, I offer my condolences to his wife and sons. I will take away my greatest memories of someone who proved to be a successful manager and a discerning man, tenacious and a fighter. Robson always asked for your very best, win or lose, he demanded it from you, showing he wasn't like any other manager. Thanks to him, in 2001 we had a great season in his side." - Nolberto Solano

 

Sorry my translation's a tad iffy late on but I think that's the jist.

Just back back from the ground was very sad.  just as we were looking around all the tributes Sir Bobby's wife Elsie arrived with family. everyone who was there started to applaud.

Brilliant. Really glad they get to see how much Bobby was loved. I hope it made them enormously proud instead of sad :)

just been up with the wife and kids. we queued from outside shearers and got in 45 mins later just as the Robson family were in. very touching moment.

 

just a note to say there was an A4 sized message tied to one of the seats attached to a shirt saying that "it should have been Ashley"!!!!!!!!! anyone else notice it?

Just got back, queued from outside of Shearer's bar to get in to pay my respects. Got there about 330 and stewards were trying to turn people away saying they may not get in by 5. As I left the ground at 450 there must have still been at least 500 more still queing to get in. Hope they got in.

 

At St James' metro someone has laid a single white rose where Sir Bobby's footprints are too.
