He played an impressive 103 games and scored 49 goals during his time playing for the team. A statement from the family said: “It is with great sadness that we share the news that Sir Bobby passed peacefully in the early hours of Saturday morning.
He was surrounded by his family. "His family would like to pass on their thanks to everyone who has contributed to his care and for the many people who have loved and supported him.
