Former England manager Sir Bobby Robson has died at the age of 76, following a long battle with cancer.
Robson will be best remembered for leading England to the 1990 World Cup semi-final.
At club level, worked at Fulham before establishing his credentials at Ipswich where he won the FA Cup and Uefa Cup in a 13-year stay.
Spells at PSV Eindhoven, Sporting Lisbon, Porto and Barcelona followed before he managed Newcastle United.
Robson, who was born in County Durham and watched the Magpies from the terraces, returned to his native north-east in 1999 in what was to be his last major role in football.
Bobby Robson was a great person far beyond football, however, and i am sure that he is close to the hearts of people all around England and indeed the rest of the footballing world but here on Tyneside he will be remembered fondly for ever
RIP Sir Bobby Robson
