Robson's century run

Spotted on the Football 365 website: a fella queued up for ages at a Bobby Robson book signing in Newcastle recently

Spotted on the Football 365 website: a fella queued up for ages at a Bobby Robson book signing in Newcastle recently. When he got to the front he asked Robson how many books he'd signed so far. "Hundreds, mate, hundreds," he replied. When he looked at the signature when he got home it read: "All the best, son, Bobby Hundreds."
