Anyone watch this last night (sunday)
Sir Bobby Robson received the life time achievement award - well deserved when you see his great career looking back
Sir Alex Ferguson presented it to him whilst a host of ex players were on stage also
Very emotional speech and he just comes across as so devoted to football - enthusiastic and appreciative of everything he has achieved
I was fortunate enough to meet him in Jurys and he was lovely, photos and chatted with my nephew etc. He was not very well then but he seemed a lot better last night
A True legend of the game and i hope our players have took something on board from his involvement in Irish football albeit brief - some of them could certainly do with a bit of enthusiasm and passion he demonstrates
However ill conceived Stans appointment, i would not blame Bobby for any of the ensuing problems, results etc.
A true legend and brings to mind a quick story i heard about him in relation to Ireland
On going to Croke Park he was obviously impressed and commented on the hill and suggested away fans should be put there
Delaney and Stan agreed it was a good idea, easy to segregate and nice to have irish fans in the main stands etc which they thought was why bobby suggested it, until he said:
No, the reason we want them up there is cos its uncovered and if it rains they will be fcuking soaked and wont be happy
