Following the memorial service held today to celebrate the life of Sir Bobby Robson, as a devotee of Ipswich Town Football Club, I thought I would like to share my thoughts with my fellow 606ers.
Read or discard as is your want.
Thank you, Sir Bobby Robson:
For making my youth so enjoyable, growing up in the North Stand, Portman Road watching my much loved small club win the Texaco Cup, The FA Cup, UEFA Cup and for a decade being one of the dominating forces in European Football.
International teams were packed with players from ITFC through asute signings or from our wonderful youth system.
Then you went on to give my country an unforgettable World Cup experience.
Then came success with clubs in mainland Europe, before returning to the only club you loved more than Ipswich - Newcastle United. Then eventually when that did not work out as you liked you returned to our little club as Life President.
The day you died so did part of me, but you live on in our memories and with our thanks.
Sir Bobby Robson, thank you for making our dreams come true.
