Always came across as a lovely down to earth man.

Oh no, he seemed so lovely.

RIP Bobby.

Awww

so sad rip bobby

an absolute legend of the game, and a truely funny and warm person.

RIP Bobby

this is lovely but sad

Very sad

I know someone who has met him a few times. He says he's one of the loviest guys he's ever met. RIP, Sir Bobby.

Very sad, a true gentleman and a proper Northerner

R.I.P Bobby. A truly lovely man

Aw bless him. That is very sad news.

RIP Sir Bobby, a true legend of the Northeast and football. He was a lovely man and a real hero amongst us Northeners.

God bless Sir Bob. They don't make them like him anymore.

Sad news

He was a real gent.

He will be missed, especially in football-mad Newcastle, where I used to live (still a Magpie fan)

bump...there are some wonderful tributes to him & anecdotes about him in the papers today - my favourite is him saying to Bryan Robson "hello Bobby" & Bryan replying "you're Bobby, I'm Bryan"

lots of links on this page

I love the "stupid tart" story

He was a lovely man
