The football world has lost a dear friend and gentleman in Sir Bobby Robson.
I have wonderful memories of his best achievement on the international stage where he led England to the 1990 World Cup semi-final.
Not around to see the heroics of 66, I was kept on the edge of my seat as his team made hard work of getting out of a group.
Aged 18, my heart was pulled this way by a team in which Gary Lineker made his name.
It ended with tears from Gazza and yours truly after a penalty shootout defeat against Germany.
He was an old school kind of manager who although often mixing up the names of his players, told it how it is. The type of football manager that we may never see again.
