Get well soon Sir Bobby Robson – or at least that will be the loud message when Newcastle resume their European campaign against Ventspils on Thursday night.
The proposed scarf day on Saturday against Wigan may well have turned out to be a wash out in more ways than one, but maybe that was a blessing in disguise.
For it is against the Latvian side that Toon fans will come together in unison with scarves at St James' Park to pay tribute to Robson’s achievements on Tyneside - as well as to wish the ex-England boss a speedy recovery following the news about his surgery to remove a brain tumour.
And that means if the atmosphere from Alan Shearer’s testimonial is emulated it would be a truly fitting tribute for Sir Bobby.
Robson was responsible for transforming us from a laughing stock under crazed Dutchman Ruud Gullit into a team that entertained and found a way back to the Champions League.
What was your best memory though from his time in charge?
8-0 v Sheff Wed? THAT night in Feyenoord? 4-3 at Elland Road? 3-1 at Highbury to go top?....there are too many to mention!
Therefore it’s time to wave the scarves, roar the lads to victory and pay tribute to Sir Bobby all in one go!
