Covering a career that saw some of the greatest moments in footballing history; the hand of God, Gazza’s tears, England’s greatest World Cup abroad, titles in Europe’s top leagues, European triumph with Ipswich Town and a Barcelona treble, this heartfelt and personal film is led by the intimate recollections of Sir Bobby Robson himself.
During an extraordinary career, in which Robson overcame the most extreme challenges, including battles with cancer, his journey came full circle when he returned to save his beloved Newcastle.
Ahead of its release the film will receive three special stadium screenings at Wembley Stadium, London (23rd May), St James’ Park, Newcastle (22nd May) and Portman Road, Ipswich (25th May) in honour of the footballing giant and in support of The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, which raises money to find more effective ways to detect and treat cancer.
Here’s the trailer.
