Legendary Town manager Sir Bobby Robson has died at the age of 76. Robson, who managed the Blues from 1969 to 1982, had been battling cancer for the fifth time.
Robson, who also managed Fulham, England, PSV, Sporting Lisbon, Porto, Barcelona and Newcastle, led Town to the 1978 FA Cup and the 1981 UEFA Cup during the club's most successful decade.
Cancerous nodules were discovered in Robson's lungs in May 2007 and he had been undergoing treatment since then.
It wasn't his first fight against the disease. In 1992 he overcame bowel cancer then and a mouth cancer three years later. In May 2006 he underwent surgery when a tumour was found on his lung after a skiing accident.
Three months later Robson had surgery to remove a brain tumour which was revealed by tests after the former England boss was taken ill at the Blues' opening game of the 2006/07 season against Crystal Palace.
On Sunday he was presented with a UEFA Order of Merit award at a match between his 1990 England side and Germany at St James's Park which raised funds for his Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.
Robson will be greatly missed by all in football, not least Town supporters. Add your tributes in the comments section below.
