Former England manager Sir Bobby Robson has died at the age of 76 after a long battle with cancer.
Sir Alex Ferguson pays tribute to his great friend Sir Bobby Robson:
“Bobby’s passing is a very sad loss to the game. He was a dear friend of mine and a friend to many people in football. We owe him a great sense of gratitude for the life he’s spent in the game – no-one in my time has shown such passion and love for football than Bobby did. He used to phone me before every big game to wish me all the best, I remember him calling on the afternoon of the Champions League final in ’99 to say good luck. No matter how busy he was, he always took the time to think of others which was fantastic. That was a very special part of Bobby.”
Rest in peace Sir Bobby Robson!
