Sir Bobby blasts outrageous rumours

Last updated : 01 October 2003 By Martyn Elliott

One of the most highly respected men in world football (despite the fact that ITV Sport recently referred to him as Sir Bobby Brown) Sir Bobby has never been a quitter and has no intention of beginning now.

He told Sky Sports News: "The story was outrageous. The spin was tremendous and before you know it, it goes all over the world.


"This is a great football club, there is no doubt about that. We are a very fine team. You don't lose what you are good at over three years in six matches.

"We have high-quality players and there is a lot of character and resolve and yes, we have had a blip, yes, we haven't won in six games.

"Anyone watching the match on Friday against Arsenal would see we were unlucky. That's the way it goes, but we will get it right.

"There is no doubt that the players give 100 per cent. People have short memories.


"We agree we've had a poor start, but I would remind people that we are still in Europe, we're still in the FA Cup, we're still in the Carling Cup and we haven't been relegated."

Well said Sir Bobby.


He’s as committed to the club as we always thought and Saturday is a great opportunity to show him just how much he is appreciated.
