    I remember going to a dramatic 3-3 draw at southampton when it looked like we would get nothing. Afterwards he was signing autographs and talking away to the fans until the first team coaches had to usher him on the bus. What a man! always made time for the fans and clearly loved club shame we didn't do the same by him. Always thought Dyer was proper 2 bob after the start of bobby's last few games. Refusing to play on the wing talk about disrespect. Always riled me and I wish he had been turfed a long time before he was.

    A great way to remember a great man!

    I run my own football team and today is our very first game and we will be doing a minuets applause beforehand, hopefully we can get a win for Sir Bobby.

    My memory of him is seeing him going into the reception before a game. I shouted out to him and he shouted back "Hello Pet and waved" I felt as if I had won the lottery.
    My daughter was cringing but also smiling because she like me loved the man.

    Typical of the guy wasn't it though.

    A familiar sight.

    The game is a poorer one without his presence
