Simon Clegg has revealed that the Club discussed the idea of naming a stand at Portman Road after Sir Bobby Robson with the man himself.

Town's Chief Executive has confirmed that the Club are considering several options to further commemorate the success that Sir Bobby brought to Town in his 13 years as manager.

"We have given serious consideration to a further permanent memorial and tribute to Sir Bobby," Simon told the Club website.

"There are a range of ideas that we are looking at and have been looking at over the past few months.

"Naming a stand after Sir Bobby is one of the options that we have discussed and we spoke to Sir Bobby about it but he didn't feel it was appropriate until a period after he had passed away. We obviously want to respect that and will respect that.

"We will listen to what the supporters have to say and all ideas for a fitting tribute will be given all due consideration but at the end of the day it needs to be a football recognition, something identifiable with the Club and Portman Road in particular."

Sir Bobby's success at Town is recognised by a statue of the former England boss in Portman Road and the Sir Bobby Robson hospitality suite.
