Sir Bobby
Sir Bobby Robson, the grand old man of football, returned to centre stage in Dublin yesterday and declared that it was great to be back.
Although looking frail and walking with a limp, the former England manager retained all of his renowned enthusiasm.
Robson, 73, resumed his job as assistant to Steve Staunton, the Ireland manager, after a four-match absence, during which he underwent brain surgery. He will assist Staunton and Kevin MacDonald, the first-team coach, for the European Championship qualifying match against San Marino at Lansdowne Road on Wednesday evening.
