Aged 76

The great man is dead. Its legendary what he did at Ipswich and England..then went on to be one of the best managers in the World.

RIP

honours as manager:

Ipswich Town:
Texaco Cup 1973
FA Cup 1978
UEFA Cup 1981

PSV Eindhoven:
Dutch Championship 1991, 1992

FC Porto:
Portuguese Championship 1995, 1996
Cup of Portugal 1994

FC Barcelona:
Spanish Super Cup 1996

European Cup Winners' Cup 1997

England:
Rous Cup 1986, 1988, 1989
qtr finel world cup 1996
semi final world cup 1990

Plus manager of the year awards in countries he managed.

What I always remember is 1978 when Ipswich led the first division most of the season, but finished 2nd as Villa snatched it off them but they were two good teams.

Didn't see that coming, half expected him to be the new Newcastle boss next season

RIP

Another memory which has left a bad taste in my mouth about the scum press.

When he became manager of England, he got nothing but grief from the media because the media wanted Brian Clough also he dropped Kevin Keegan.

His first match was against Denmark, and the press predicted no one would turn up..he was nearly in tears afterwards because about 70,000 attended.

Shortly after he said he would resign in favour of Brian Cluogh if thats what the country wanted, but the FA rejected it.

Also they gave him grief because he started to go gray, and the media made out it was because he couldn't handle the pressure of being England manager.

I hate the written media.

A great man...Sorry Gentleman of this world has dies, it is a real sad day.
The man was honoured during his life and that will continue forever.

The man was a scholor and a gentleman and will be sorely missed. There should people weeping in the streets and parties organised to celebrate the GREAT MAN.


RIP Sir Bobby

Not just a great manager for England, Newcastle et al, but a former Baggies great as well.

I vaguely remember him towards the end of his playing career. Had [and probably still have] as a kid, a football annual with his picture in it as a player.
He was one of the good players.
