That's pretty sad. Gone to the great football pitch in the sky errrr where they use angels harps for goal posts etc.

Its a great pity. I hope the papers feel guilty about hounding him. May he RIP.

Very sad to hear he finally lost his long battle with cancer. RIP.

Good old fashioned gentlemen. Not many around anymore.
Always liked him.
He was my favourite manager.
Never had a bad thing to say about anyone and never made excuses for a loss.
RIP

Died far too young. A true icon who I followed to World Cup 1990. RIP Sir Bobby.

Just seen the news now - England's best manager IMO. RIP.

So you remember that also. I stopped reading the Daily Express after almost 20 years when they denigrated in the most awful way what I considered to be one of the great football personalities of that time. It was the final straw for me. We need to treat characters like Sir Bobby with the utmost respect because they are so rare and precious. RIP Sir Bobby.
