    Just watching this on BBC. A true legend. Always came to Dorothy Hyman stadium in Wombwell to present the Mark Jones Trophy to the local winners.

    I remember going to see him one evening in the sixes At Dorothy Hyman Stadium. I seem to remember in was under floodlights but my memory could be playing tricks. He was my childhood hero.

    My son who is a chef once cooked Bobby is dinner when he visited St Andrews for the golf.

    Bobby walked into the kitchen to say thanks to the staff. This says everything about the man.
