As many people know i am against sport stars being awarded honours by Her Majesty. How the likes of Alex Ferguson, David Beckham can be awarded with them when there are servicemen and women, police and fire crews who risk there lives on a daily basis, or doctors and nurses who save lives on a daily basics is beond me. to me it doesn't seem right to award sport "stars" who earn 120,000 quid a week when there are 1000,s of people who give there time for free to help there commutes and people less better of than themselves.
However this morning football has lost in my opinion one of the very few men who truly deserved to be a knight of the realm sir Bobby Robson.
The man was a true legend of the game (a tag that is used far to often nowadays)He never had a bad word for anybody in the game,never got involved in the stupid childish mudslinging insults the likes of Wenger,ferguson and bentiz do with each other.His appetite for the game was there for all to see right the way till the end. to beat cancer three times was another measure of the man.
H achieved so much in the game, but winning the UFEA cup with Ipswich and taking England to within a penalty kick of the world cup final in 1990 must rank up there as his finest moments.
It may be a long time till we see a true gentleman the caliber of Sir Bobby in football again.if at all.
RIP Sir Bobby Robson.you will be missed. lets hope that if England win the world cup next year they dedicate it to you.
