Quote of the day

"Sir Bobby has influenced everyone who ever met him with his enthusiasm and knowledge of the game. The fact that so many fellow managers and clubs are supporting this campaign speaks more about his legacy than I ever could. That Bobby is fighting against cancer even now shows that even though he was taken from us his spirit will never die. I am proud to support the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation and Sir Bobby’s Breakthrough Auction and I hope fans across the country and throughout the world will do the same."

New Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas, who as a teenager was influenced and inspired by his neighbour, at the time manager of Porto. Villas-Boas has shown his support for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation by donating a shirt signed by the entire Chelsea squad to Sir Bobby's Breakthrough Auction.

Generosity, decency and humility? He can't be the new Mourinho, can he?
