Contrast
This doesn't bother me:
Tiresomely arrogant squillionaire German with face that just makes you want to hit it for no other reason than it's attached to a body to drive fast car round and round in circles again.
But I feel no shame in admitting that this tribute made me blub like a baby. Try as I might, I can find nothing ill to say of him:
Bobby Robson 1993 - 2009

5 Vegetable peelings:
Thank you for posting that and saving the rest of us the trouble. I remember him as a player, he should have played for England for years, and been in the 1966 team. (Stiles?). I think he got injured before the previous world cup and never played for England again. He was magnificent in midfield alongside Haynes.
Of course, I am way too young to remember him as a player. Shades there though of another great manager, and north-easterner, whose England playing career was cut tragically short (but who was never welcome at the top table). I remember first becoming aware of him as the manager of an Ipswich side that was a perennial stumbling block in the way of the bigger clubs and against whom any win had to be fully fully deserved.
He played for the Baggies, but even so he was a terrific fella. Don't we all wish there were a hundred more like him in the game today.
From today's Grauniad:
Sir Bobby Robson: "Morning Bobby"
Bryan Robson: "No, I'm Bryan - *you're* Bobby..."
Rest in peace - he was, I'm sure, what he always seemed to be; a kind and generous soul.

He built Ipswich on home grown players and also had success at Barcelona so he could handle the big stars as well. Quite a cv!
