RIP Sir Bobby , a great football legend.

The sport has lost a true gentleman

Bugger... that's just spoiled my day!

I suppose it's a club we'll all join one day, but when it's one of the genuinely good guys / gals that makes the journey then it's a particularly sad day indeed!

Absolute gentleman and a giant of the game... RIP Sir Bobby.

A true gent and a legend, R.I.P

I cant add to what has been said already. A sad day indeed although if he has been suffering then i guess its a good one too in a nice way.

Shame hes not around to see West Auckland thrash Juventus again, i bet he would have loved to see that (as would we all around here - google it if you want to see the relevance ref historic football - its an interesting tale).

RIP.
