Certainly one of football's greats and a true gentleman as well.
He made playing football look so very easy and will be sadly missed.

So sad :(
He was one of many of that era who formed a backdrop to my early life and, at the time, a hero to me

One of my earliest memories of football is that I saw Sir Bobby score from 25 yards, at Fulham.  A true gentleman and ambassador for the game.

For a number of months (before she had to retire due to ill health), my wife nursed him in a care home.
