It has came out today in an interview with Sir Bobby Robson that he is losing his battle with Cancer. The biggest gentlemen in football who acted in dignity with the way he was treated by bandits who used to run St. James Park.

The doctors has confirmed that he is unlikely to lose his battle against lung cancer. Sir Bobby has thanked the doctors and nurses for the length of life he has had after battling cancer previously and said he is looking to enjoy the remaining days he has to the fullest.

“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.”

Sir Bobby Robson is and always will be the great ambassador of global football. If only we had more characters like him the football world would be a better place.

I am sure I speak for us all when I say our thoughts are with him and his family.
