Legend is an overused word but Sir Bobby Robson, you are a legend.

Seventy-six year old Sir Bobby Robson is a true great of the English game. He has had recurrent problems with cancer for many years and in 2008 he told the world that he had terminal lung cancer.

Defeated

He has defeated cancer on four occasions but the fifth time will eventually beat him. He had bowel cancer in 1992, a malignant melanoma in 1995, and a tumour in his right lung and a brain tumour, both in 2006. As a result of these four illnesses he was left partially paralysed due to a stroke caused by the brain tumour, and also with a partially prosthetic upper jaw after the melanoma was surgically removed. The fifth diagnosis of cancer came in February 2007and it consisted of cancerous nodules in both lungs, and was diagnosed as terminal.

At that point, Sir …

Villa´s Grealish deal is an example to Spurs and Kane, says Petrov

Jack Grealish and Aston Villa provided a perfect model of how to sell a star player in the best possible way , Stiliyan Petrov says.

And former Villa captain Petrov feels it is an example Harry Kane and Tottenham should heed as the England captain attempts to join Grealish at Manchester City.

Grealish left Villa Park for £100million this week, having wanted to join a Champions League club.

For Kane, who has already played in Europe s elite club competition, the intention appears to be to join a genuine title contender.

Spurs have fallen away, while City appear well set for their Premier League title defence.

It was reported Kane skipped pre-season training in a bid to force a transfer, although the striker said on Friday he would never, and have…

Lampard future first challenge for Scolari at Chelsea

Luiz Felipe Scolari began life as Chelsea on new manager with the unresolved future of Frank Lampard sitting at the top of an overflowing in-tray.

Scolari has already secured his number one transfer target with former Barcelona star Deco having signed for the London club on Monday in a deal worth just over eight million pounds.

The arrival of the Portugal playmaker has however only served to fuel the uncertainty over whether fellow midfielder Lampard will remain at Stamford Bridge or opt to join former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho at Inter Milan.

Lampard, 30, has only a year on his current contract left and there has been no progress towards an agreement on the long-term deal he says he wants to sign with Chelsea.

Scolari likes his teams to play entert…

Rost extends with Hamburger SV

Current Bundesliga leaders Hamburger SV and Frank Rost have come to a new agreement that should leave the goalkeeper at the north-German team for another year.

Rost s contract initially expired in 2009, but is now set to end in the summer of 2010.

The 35-year-old began his professional career in 1992, and spent the first ten years at Werder Bremen. After five years at Schalke 04, where he eventually lost his position as first choice to Manuel Neuer, Rost moved to Hamburg in 2007.

Since joining his current side, Rost made 58 club appearances.

Krul joins Ajax on loan after signing new Newcastle deal

Newcastle United goalkeeper Tim Krul has joined Ajax on a season-long loan following Jasper Cillessen s move to Barcelona.

Krul has also signed a one-year contract extension at St James Park that will keep him on the club s books until 2018.

The loss of Cillessen to Barca left Ajax needing to quickly fill their number-one jersey, and Krul who moved to Tyneside from ADO Den Haag in 2005 is relishing the challenge after being relegated with Newcastle at the end of last season.

I don t think many clubs are equivalent to Newcastle. Ajax is in that category, he told the Eredivisie outfit s official website.

Ajax is a club with many talents and I look forward to passing on the experience I have accumulated over the past decade.
