someone close to me has beaten cancer twice, but this man beat it 4 times?!

my word

This was the 5th time he had it.

Very sad, like i said on the sinbin thread, i was at the charity football match for his foundation on Sunday, i'm glad he was there and felt upto going. He had the decency to go onto the pitch and shake each one of the players and officials hands, whislt 38,000 fans were chanting 'theres only one Bobby Robson', he took time to wave to the crowd and thank them for their support whilst quite clearly not feeling his best. What a true gentleman, an inspiration and a role model!

A sad loss to the footballing world.

Rest in peace Sir Bobby.

how dignified he has been through his illness.

Something a few of the current bunch of whiny, moaning prima donnas would do well to reflect on this weekend, rather than getting tanked up and trying to beat the snot out of DJs or spit roast teenage girls.

I don't follow football too avidly but what were Sir Bobby's heroic deeds that have stirred your passions Lawrie?

someone who my friend knows beat cancer by eating raw apricot kernels every day

They contain vitamin b17 which attacks cancer cells

If you eat 6 to 10 of these a day you are much less likely to get cancer.
