Times (UK)

Slightly faint praise perhaps (there are a couple of Scots ahead of him), but Torquil Jones and Gabriel Clarke's poignant documentary demonstrates the foolishness of underestimating the avuncular Geordie...

Independent (UK)

In this affectionate and moving documentary... the late Sir Bobby Robson emerges both as likeable and as far more driven and astute than was sometimes recognised during his lengthy coaching career.

Sam Parker

Esquire Magazine

This documentary - beautifully shot and brilliantly paced by directors Gabriel Clarke and Torquil Jones - is less about Robson the football manager as it is about Robson the football man.

The journalistic level of the talking heads interviews in the film-and the anecdotes they come up with-is unusually rich, but that's down to Robson's inspirational quality.

I didn't like the silly time frame jumping back and forth but apart from that, this is a fine documentary and a worthy tribute to Robson. The contributors are of an exceptionally high standard and the stories (even around things like Italia 90 which you feel you know back to front) are all interesting and serve to paint a vivid and deeper portrait of the man. Really good documentary.

A great tribute to the great manager and player. It was good to learn more about him as a person. Truly he was a credit to the sport and his country.

A profile of a great man it also shows how the media stoop to terrible levels to undermine a real gentleman
