Sad news regarding a great servant to Football

Sir Bobby Robson has admitted he will lose his battle with lung cancer 'sooner rather than later'.

The former England, Newcastle and Ipswich boss has been battling a fifth bout of the illness and has accepted doctors' prognosis that he is unlikely to beat it.

He told The Sun: "I have accepted what they have told me and I am determined to make the most of what time I have left.

"I am going to die sooner rather than later. But then everyone has to go some time, and I have enjoyed every minute.

"I have been fortunate to survive this long. It is thanks to the doctors and their dedication."

Robson took England to the brink of a World Cup final in Italy in 1990 and has enjoyed a football career spanning six decades.

His time in the game includes playing days with Fulham and England, to managerial triumphs first with Ipswich and then as national coach at two World Cups, to continental coaching appointments.

He later returned to his native North East to take over at Newcastle and most recently spent a short time as consultant for the Republic of Ireland.

A true Gentleman!
What a shame the English press vilified him for his tactics before Italia '90.
Only for him to prove them wrong.
Stay with us Bobby, you're a true great of the game fella
