To Bobby Robson…
It was sad to hear the news that Bobby Robson died today…
I had the privilege to meet him and his wife when he was the manager of Sporting (Lisbon). He was quite an amazing man actually, and one that seemed to remember detail in times where he must have been under a lot of pressure….I mean…who else would call and invite you to the Sporting home games and arrange to meet you at the gate of the stadium to give you complimentary tickets, just before the game started.
I always remember him saying (as we laid in the sun around the pool): “Ya know what Ken…in England we always say, bloody rain again…and in Portugal it’s…bloody sun again….”
I think of you and your family today Bobby…
