Football legend Robson dies at 76 Sir Bobby Robson Former England manager Sir Bobby Robson has died at the age of 76, following a long battle with cancer. Robson will be best remembered on the international stage for leading England to the 1990 World Cup semi-final. At club level, he cut his managerial teeth at Fulham before establishing his credentials at Ipswich where he won the FA Cup and Uefa Cup in a 13-year stay. Spells at PSV Eindhoven, Sporting Lisbon, Porto and Barcelona followed before managing at Newcastle. Robson was at St James' Park for a charity match earlier this week. An England side, featuring Alan Shearer and several members of the 1990 World Cup squad including Paul Gascoigne and Peter Shilton, beat a Germany team 3-2. The game was a repeat of the 1990 World Cup semi-final when England, managed by Sir Bobby, lost on penalties. A statement issued on behalf of his family said: "It is with great sadness that it has been announced today that Sir Bobby Robson has lost his long and courageous battle with cancer. "He died very peacefully this morning (Friday) at his home in County Durham with his wife and family beside him. "Sir Bobby's funeral will be private and for family members only. "A thanksgiving service in celebration of Sir Bobby's life will be held at a later date for his many friends and colleagues. "Lady Robson and the family would very much appreciate it if their privacy could be respected at this difficult time." As a player, Robson was a key member of the Fulham and West Brom team during the 1950s and 1960s and also won 20 caps for England. [COLOR=blue] Sir Bobby was a true gentleman of the game |
