Elliottman Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 It is perhaps poignant that news of Kieron Dyer's retirement has come out today. RIP Bobby. Legend. Gentleman. I dont think he's worth mentioning in the same sentence really. What a bloke. How we could do with you today. RIP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 It was great when he was the manager and made people proud to say he was our manager. Not sure what he would make of the club at the moment. Great man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGuv Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Jesus. Such a shame that the last time he saw NUFC play would have been us getting relegated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 The thing I always remember about Bobby Robson was how, in the run up to the 1990 WC, the tabloids have him absolutely relentless stick. It was unbelievable - certainly more vitriolic than Graham Taylor got with the turnip stuff, as it went on for longer. I remember we played a few friendlies against poor opposition prior to the WC, and they were really laying it on even that late. Even when the tournament started and the group matches were largely turgid affairs, he was under massive pressure and copping huge stick. We then did well in the knockout rounds and the press did a total about turn. How he managed not to fall to the temptation to publically point out this hypocrisy is beyond me.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Was on work experience with Real Radio and covered the entire day, completely chucked in at the deep end interviewing fans then Hughton, Shola and Harper.

Ketsbaia Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Despite everything this club puts us through, it still fills me with pride that Sir Bobby managed us and that he's one of us. You can never take those memories away. A great man who'll always be missed. RIP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He barely held it together. It was a very tough interview to watch. I don't think Bobby would hold any ill feeling towards him, so I don't think anybody else should.

henke Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 There's a part of that documentary, just call me Bobby where he's showing Lineker around the newly upgraded SJP. It's a couple of years since i watched it but he's showing Lineker the finish demonstrating how good the door casings are. The man was immensely proud of the fucking door casings. Contrast that with our current situation. Owned by a man who turned our stadium into the Sports Direct brothel. Sponsored by a pay day loan company, a shirt that was made with no expense considered with an iron on badge. These may be small, reasonably palatable issues when isolated but they add up to a different club. A million miles away from what Sir Bobby would have accepted and that saddens me as i'm sure it does all of you. Mike Ashley should be made to sit down and watch that film. RIP Bobby.
