Sir Bobby Robson remembered in Sky Sports documentary

By , Senior Reporter
Sky Sports premier a documentary looking back on the life of much-loved legendary football manager Sir Bobby Robson, who passed away in 2009 at the age of 76.

Legendary football manager Sir Bobby Robson has been given a fitting tribute in a documentary looking back on his illustrious career.

The much-loved former England boss passed away in 2009 at the age of 76 following a long battle with cancer.

Sky Sports produced a 90-minute tribute to Robson, which aired for the first time last night, letting viewers into the life of the man who was knighted in 2002 for his services to football.

Former Newcastle United defender Robbie Elliott, who worked under Robson at St James' Park, cycled around Europe visiting all of the clubs managed by his former manager, while former Three Lions stars Gary Lineker and Paul Gascoigne also gave first-hand accounts of their time spent under the stewardship of Sir Bobby.

The documentary will be repeated on Sky Sports 1 at 11pm this evening.
