A lovely, lovely man. RIP x

He looked really happy at the Bobby Robson match the other day - in a way a good send off for him.

RIP

One of incredibly few people who managed to be a genuinely successful manager whilst being a very warm human being too. RIP Bobby.

I met Bobby Robson after a football course I'd done as a kid, he was still England manager at the time. He was a fantastic man, he will be missed very much. RIP Bobby. Absolute legend.

One of my first memories of football during Italia 90 was Bobby Robson and his grey suit with the England team. A gentleman who wore his heart on his sleeve.

RIP Sir Bobby.

Terrible news.

RIP Sir Bobby

I was lucky enough to spend some time in the company of this true gentleman in the airport lounge in Eindhoven. He was on his first spell as a manager there and he put up with a few of us who had the temerity to pester him. He had no airs or graces and gave his time freely and without resentment. It was a good experience.

I met him again when PSV played a pre-season friendly at Ewood, I was with the sponsors of the game entertaining customers in one of the lounges. There was no requirement for him to give his time but he still made his way in and proferred those who were interested a brief but warm hello.

Newcastle has lost one of its kindest sons, a miner who grew into a footballing legend but remained 'ordinary' and without pretentions. If only football had more like him in the current generation.

Sir Bobby Robson, may you find peace and may your family be carried through this period of loss with care and the love of God.

[Iceman]

RIP Sir Bobby. You will be sorely missed. Condolences to his family and friends

[Ronin]

A footballing legend and total gentleman. A great loss to the game.

RIP Sir Bobby
