Sir Bobby Robson dies ~ the end of an era

Author: Paddy Bloggit* Comments(4)


Sport rarely gets a look in here ….. but it does today.

Bobby Robson died today at the age of 76.

He was a former international soccer player, a former manager and he was a ‘consultant’ for the Republic of Ireland team in 2006/2007.

Steve Staunton needed guidance and Bobby was it.

I don’t think this worked too well as Bobby had been suffering from ill-health around that time.

Anyways, no amount of ‘guidance or consulting’ could have saved Staunton’s skin!

I digress.

I just want to acknowledge Sir Bobby’s achievements and that he may rest in peace.

R.I.P. Bobby.

    Paddy baby . .you really have to stop dwelling on these eulogies. . .I mean these are worthy people of rememberance but you’re getting a tad morbid here. They lived full and fortunate lives. Celebrate that.

    A lot of sense in what you say Baino … but the history buff in me always marvels at past achievements of people.

    I’ll not suffer from any derangements because old Bobby has departed his mortal coils … just thought it no harm to say goodbye to him and wish him well on his (merry) way.

    As Bobby himself put it:

    “I am going to die sooner rather than later. But then everyone has to go some time, and I have enjoyed every minute.”

    but I will try to tone down the obituaries …. :mrgreen:
