Hello listeners, George Culkin here. Today would have been Sir Bobby Robson's 90th birthday,

and it's fitting that St James's Park will be rocking tonight when Newcastle United

host Liverpool. You're about to hear one episode from our exclusive four-part series titled

Bobby 90, featuring previously unheard interviews between the great man and myself in the months

and years leading up to his death.

In this episode, Sir Bobby takes us through his managerial stints at England, PSV, Barcelona and Ipswich,

with anecdotes about Gaza, Brian Robson and many more. It's Bobby at his charismatic and emotional best.

To listen to the rest of the Bobby 90 series, search for Pod on the Tine on Apple Podcasts,

Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
