Farewell, but, not Goodbye!.
Another one of the few remaining bona fide legends in the game gone. I heard an interview, a few years back now, where he commented that he never wanted the day to come where he’d spend his saturday afternoons in a supermarket….looking at the prices of baked beans!.
He’s gone before his time but he’s also gone before he outlived the contribution he could make to the game he loved and the wider community. It’s saddening but in a way, from reading his autobiography, I think he’d have been quietly satisfied with that.
RIP Sir Bobby.
