Where do you start with a player of this stature.I first saw him at a midweek afternoon game at the Valley pre floodlight days they beat us 5-1 Bobby stood out among one of the greatest teams ever ,spraying 40 yard passes all over the pitch,a true joy to watch.We often say it about great players when they pass,but he truly was one of the best. RIP Bobby.
An absolute hero of mine growing up. Great man, great player, and a thunderous shot in both feet. Loved watching him play and score for England, and also in the run to the European Cup Final in 1968 too with Man Utd. I had a red football shirt as a kid that I always imagined was his, even though it didn't have a number on it.... I remember being most disappointed when he didn't play for Preston when managing them against us on the night we won promotion. A lovely man in his dotage, and a credit to his family. RIP Sir Bobby - you were one of the all-time greats.
RIP Sir Bobby. The mark of the man is that nobody has ever had a bad word to say about him. Truly wonderful player, a global icon and great ambassador for our game.

If my memory serves me correct his league debut was against us.
He was more or less perfect.
