The Bobby Robson Foundation is holding an auction this
weekend to raise money for two Charities.
Everyone who knows football will know what a gloriously
modest and brilliantly successful football person he was. I was lucky enough to
meet hiM at Ipswich Town when he as their manager. Surrey Football Coaches Association
ran a trip to Ipswich FC on a Sunday and Bobby, President of SFCA hosted us. We watched coaching
on their practice ground, actually played a coached game on the main pitch and
had lunch in the hospitality lounge. My dad, came with us to enjoy the day out,
sat next to Bobby who could not have been more gracious. What a nice man! So this auction is
being run in his memory and almost £50,000 has already been bid in The EACH and
Sir Bobby’s Online Auction, which closes on Sunday (19 October) at 8pm.

Every penny raised will help the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation
and East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices and lots include a wide range of events
and activities – many of which are not usually available to the general public.
More than 100 lots have been donated and this is the third online charity
auction that veteran voluntary fundraiser Gina Long has organised along with
her Special Events Committees. Click on the website and see what is being
offered. There are lots of lots!
