Robbie Elliott bikes across Europe for Sir Bobby

FORMER Newcastle United favourite Robbie Elliott today reveals a bid to bike across Europe in honour of Sir Bobby Robson.

The 38-year-old, who made his Premier League debut with United in 1991, today launches the Robbie Elliott Foundation to raise cash for good causes.

And his first task will be to complete the trek across Europe in memory of Sir Bobby – the man who signed him for his boyhood club.

In less than 25 days he plans to cycle 3,500 miles, visiting eight clubs across four countries where Sir Bobby coached.

Inspired by Tyneside hero Mark Allison – whose run across the US saw him clock up distances of more than 26 miles a day – he set about planning the adventure.

Today he revealed he wanted to raise as much as possible after his father George, lost his battle with lung cancer before Robbie had earned his full debut.

Robbie said: “Sir Bobby signed me during my second stint at Newcastle. I have the utmost respect for him, you just have to look at the clubs he managed and the outcomes he achieved.

“The big thing for me was that even when you were not playing you could not be annoyed with him. He was a true gentleman and he was just an incredible man.

“At times he didn’t get the credit he deserved. When he left Newcastle we had the basis of an incredible, athletic, exciting team.

“It was an easy decision to do the fundraising in his memory. It was the perfect fit because I lost my dad through cancer and I’ve lost other family members and friends.

“My dad died in around 1990, he saw me make my debut but not my full debut. I always draw strength from experiences and this is something I wanted to do.

“I lost my mother-in-law and father-in-law two years ago to cancer. It affects everyone which is hopefully why everyone will get behind the ride.”

Already Robbie, who currently coaches the US national teams at all levels, has won the support of some of football’s biggest stars.

Jose Mourinho – once Sir Bobby’s translator at FC Porto – is among those who have backed the 38-year-old.

But most importantly Sir Bobby’s wife, Lady Elsie Robson, and sons Andrew, Paul and Mark, have all got behind him.

Robbie, who lives in Gosforth, Newcastle, said: “We’ve been in touch with Lady Elsie and her family have been very supportive.”

Robbie’s mammoth trek will see him cover an average of 150 miles a day. It will begin from Sporting Lisbon’s ground in the south of Portugal.

He will make his way to Sir Bobby’s former ground at FC Porto before heading to Spain to touch base at FC Barcelona’s Camp Nou, where Sir Bobby won every major trophy available.

Robbie will then cycle more than 1,500 miles to Holland where he will visit PSV Eindhoven before crossing the Channel to Fulham’s Craven Cottage and the home of English Football at Wembley.

He will then visit Ipswich Town’s Portman Road before travelling to St James’ Park.

Robbie has now begun the gruelling preparations to complete the mammoth task by undergoing tests at Northumbria University and consuming more than 5,000 calories a day.

He said: “We haven’t set a target yet because we are waiting for the fixture lists to be released. It was always the case that I wanted to do something when I finished football, an endurance event or a triathlon.

“I would get to the point of entry having done all the training and it wouldn’t happen. I had a coffee with Run Geordie Run Mark Allison and it totally inspired me.

Kretenčine iz Norwich-a su oštetile spomen-park Sir Bobby-ju u centru Newcastle-a. Iscrtali sprejom kurčeve i svašta napisali. Jebem im mater ogavnu.

YOBS have vandalised a memorial garden created in memory of football legend Sir Bobby Robson.

The vandals defaced a stone portrait of the former Newcastle boss, which is near to St James' Park.

It is believed Norwich fans were the culprits as Sir Bobby also managed their bitter rivals Ipswich.

Liz Luff, of the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, which raises cash for cancer research, said: "I'm furious to find the memorial garden vandalised.

"I can't believe anyone would do that."

Ali su komunalci to već sutradan oprali. (Kod nas bi stajalo godinama, jel tako?)

Pre tri godine, umro je naš voljeni Sir Bobby Robson.


Evo šta sam tada napisao ovde na forumu:

Trenutno se sa suprugom nalazim u Tivtu, ali ova vest me je zatekla danas u Podgorici. Putem sms-a, prijatelj iz Novog Sada (Polly, inače navijač QPR-a) mi je izjavio saučešće. Prvo nisam mogao da verujem, zastao sam, crne naočare su mi samo pokrile suze koje su same krenule...

Otišao je naš Bobby, otišao u legendu...

Jutros je bilo vrlo tiho i mirno u kući Robson-ovih. Umro je sa svojim najbližima.

Iako sam znao, iako smo svi znali da Bobby lagano umire, ova vest me je jednostavno šokirala. Verujem, da je i vas sve, kao i celokupnu fudbalsku javnost, ova vest šokirala. Ne znam, verovao sam da ovaj dan nikada neće doći...

Pre samo pet dana na St. James' Park-u, lično on je organizovao utakmicu veterana Engleske i Nemačke. Ceo prihod sa tog meča išao je u fondaciju Sir Bobby Robson, fondaciju protiv te opake bolesti, koju svi nazivamo rak. Četiri puta ju je Bobby pobedio, ali znao je, da kada cancer postigne gol, meč je završen. Znao je da odlazi, znao je da umire. Otpozdravljajući iz kolica prošle nedelje navijačima svog voljenog Newcastle-a, kao da je znao da mu je to poslednji krug. Upravo je to ono što je Bobby, naš Bobby želeo. Želeo je da pokaže svetu, da se još uvek bori i da će se on boriti do poslednjeg dana. To je i činio.

Pamtimo lepe trenutke sa našim Bobby-em. Pamtimo 8:0 protiv Sheffield Wednesday-a, pamtimo 4:3 protiv Man United-a. Pamtimo 3:4 protiv Leeds-a ali i 1:3 protiv Arsenal-a, kada se naš Newcastle United obreo na čelu Premier League. Pamtimo i onu utakmicu protiv Feyenoord-a od 2:3, ali i 2:2 u Milanu protiv Inter-a. Sećamo se i polufinala UEFA Cup-a protiv Marseill-a.

Medjutim, nikada neću zaboraviti njegov osmeh, kada je Alan Shearer postigao pobedonosni gol za veterane Engleske u pobedi od 3:2, samo devet minuta pre kraja meča, protiv Nemačke, prošle nedelje. Osmeh mu se razvukao kao Tyne Bridge u Newcastle-u.

Sir Bobby je svima pokazao da se svaka pobeda u fudbalu pa i u životu, može dobiti osmehom!!!

Počivaj u miru Gospodine!!!

Newcastle United - Serbia

Legenda ne bledi.

ja sam bio tada u Grckoj kad mi je sigla poruka od druga da je Bobby Robson umro....ta vest mi skoro upropastila letovanje...sutradan je moj tada omiljeni igrac Obafemi Martins presao u Wolfsburg.

Obozavao sam ovog coveka! Veliki gospodin,odlican trener,najbolji covek.Uvek ces biti u nasim srcima Bobby!

Nisam se setio da je godišnjica smrti Sir Bobby-ja, ali sam nevezano za to, baš na taj dan stavio ovu igru da se skida:



Stara dobra.

prosledi torent comi

Popizdeo, neće da radi na Windows 7.

Pa, kad Windows 7 tada nije ni postojao!

Ne možeš u BMW staviti motor od Fiće. Odnosno možeš, ali BMW tada neće ići!

Pre pet godina, tačnije 31. jula 2009. godine Sir Bobby Robson nas je napustio, ali nije zaboravljen.

Legenda živi.

Zar vec pet godina? Joj kako vrijeme leti. Bas je bio gospodin, niko nema ruzne rijeci za njega.

Ja sam se istripovao da ima i vise. Legenda je Bobi. Dobrano su se stvari promenile od kad njega nema. Ili mozda i nisu.

I ja sam ga obozavao! Legenda kluba i najveci gospodin.

Ja nisam ni znao za fuzbal kada je ovaj čovek vodio NUFC,ali sam video šta je sve uradio i video sam dosta njegovih izjava,pa i čitao šta drugi imaju da kažu o njemu tako da sam ga i ja zagotivio.
Jednostavno ne možeš a da ne gotiviš ovog čoveka.
Ista stvar važi i za Spida.



Neka počivaju u miru obe legende...iako ova tema i nema baš veze sa Spidom,ali samo da kažem šta mi je na duši.

Sa drugog forum:

My all-time favourite, on being asked about going top if we beat Arsenal by two or more...

"If is the biggest word I've ever known in football, if I had wings I could fly to the moon"
"Would you like to be there though?"
(looking in a world of his own) "Would I like to be where, on the moon?"

    

I dobili smo tada Arsenal u sred Londona 1:3 i vinuli se na čelo tabele Premier Leageu.

Pre tačno deset godina, Sir Bobby Robson je dobio otkaz u Newcastle United-u. Smatram da je to najveća greška u modernoj istoriji NUFC-a.

Apsolutno, od tada nismo imali ozbiljnog manager-a. A kola su krenula nizbrdo.
