Town owner Marcus Evans has paid his own personal tribute to Sir Bobby Robson.

Speaking to the Club website, Marcus said: "I would like to send my deepest condolences to Elsie and Sir Bobby's family at this very sad time.

"I have been privileged in the 18 months I have been involved with Ipswich to have met Sir Bobby on a number of occasions, most recently at his golf tournament in Portugal. It always struck me how much love and admiration there was for him from not only from people in football but anyone that met him.

"Even though Sir Bobby faced his own challenges with his battle against cancer, he always made himself available and gave good, honest and friendly advice.

"He was a tireless worker for his charities and we at Ipswich will do everything in our power to continue the good work for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation in his memory."
