Terribly sad news. He always spoke honestly after games regardless of the result for his team and has been generous in his praise of Liverpool over the years. A great lad.

He always used to call Eric Gates 'Eric Sykes'. ;D

I think he also called Gary Speed 'Kevin Sheedy'.

I love Sir Bobby. Proper old school, working class, jumpers for goalposts. And, in addition to all the tributes to the man he was, he was a great football manager. His Ipswich team took on the big boys, his England team (after some initial terrible, personal abuse) became the best England team since 66 and hasn't been bettered since. That '90 team would have beat the current lot hands down. He then got his beloved Newcastle playing great stuff again. Well done.

And he 'discovered' Ronaldo (the real one)!!!

RIP Bob x

There's some excellent quotes in there from Bobby. Going to be weird not having him around.

“Maybe not goodbye, but farewell.â€
;D That deserves to be on the gravestone.
