    Link doesn't work, Hampy!

    I would like to add my thoughts and best wishes! In today's football world, the term 'legend' slips regularly of the tongue, but with Sir Bobby, it is an honest description! He proved that, sometimes, the 'nice guy' does win!

    I know you guys are grateful and privileged to be associated with his memory!

    A great man who achieved success and gained immense respect by combining dignity, warmth, compassion and honesty with his incredible knoweldge of football.

    I am proud to be associated with a club that was honoured to have been managed by a true gentleman like Sir Bobby.

    Sir Bobby was a gentleman, and a legend.

    I'm proud to say I support a club that had the privilege to be managed by the great man.

    RIP Sir Bobby

    It takes a very special man like Sir Bobby to transcend across old rivalries in the world of Football. A truly great man who is loved by everyone.

    Is it just me or does it seem longer than two years?

    RIP Sir Bob.

    It seems almost like yesterday to me! I'm sure it was only a month or two ago that he was being wheeled round at his charity match!

    Sign of age I suppose, that's why policemen look about twelve, and go round in pairs 'cos one's good at reading and one's good at writing ;)

    It's been heartwarming to hear him mentioned recently in connection with the new Chelsea manager who Bobby took under his wing. I read a story about the two of them and Jose Mourinho having tea and cakes at a b&b in Ipswich when he was shadowing George Burley.

    The influence of Sir Bobby and the continued success of his methods and application is just astounding.

    Let's hope this season for Town is one that would bring a smile to his face.

    RIP Sir Bobby.

    A true gentleman, never failed to bring a smile to your face.

    Sadly missed but his legacy will continue to resonate throughout the footballing world for many years to come.

    RIP Sir Bobby Robson.
