I’m sure that my co-writers here will have much to say of substance about one of the great figures of English football who is no longer with us. For my part, I simply want to acknowledge what is a very sad day for all of us, to record the enormous debt of gratitude that we owe Sir Bobby for his astonishing contributions – it’s safe to say that none of us will ever forget that World Cup semi-final in 1990 – and to offer condolences to his family.

Rest in peace.
