Former England Football manager, Sir Bobby Robson fought cancer an incredible five times. Sadly, 17 years after his first diagnosis, he lost that long and courageous battle on 31 July 2009. He died very peacefully at his County Durham home with his wife and family beside him. During the last 18 months of his life, and after retiring from football management, Sir Bobby worked hard towards a new goal - fighting cancer through his...charity.
The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation focuses on the early detection and treatment of cancer and the clinical trials of new drugs that will eventually beat it.... In May 2009, on a beautiful sunny day in Yarm, a group of Boro fans who are regular readers of Middlesbrough's fanzine Fly Me To the Moon (FMTTM) and online message board got together to play a charity football match at Conyers School, Yarm in order to raise some money for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation. After an unbelievably fantastic response by friends, family and the general public we managed to raise in excess of £2,000 and the match was covered in the local media. On Sunday May 16th 2010, a bunch of eager Boro fans paid £200 each to play alongside ex Boro stars Paul Kerr and Mark Proctor at the Riverside and helped boost the total raised to over £15,000!!! Both matches finished as draws after penalty shoot outs so on Friday May 20th at 8pm, two sets of Boro fans will be playing in the game alongside Marlon Beresford, COlin Cooper, Paul Kerr, Craig Hignett, John Hendrie and Gaizka Mendieta in order to try and usurp the success of last years event. The event will hopefully help raise more money to treat patients and help in the fight against Cancer in the North East. If you would like to support the people involved on the day for what I believe is a very worthy charity then you can donate via this site. Every penny is very welcome. Up the Boro!!! |
