RIP Bobby. It shows what an absolute legend he was that on the first day of this season when the other surviving members of the great double team were at the Lane, that Bobby's absence was still so notable.
208 goals in 317 games for Spurs
13 in 15 for England
Bobby's wife was very ill—a couple of years ago Graham Roberts and Micky Hazard were signing photos after a game to raise money for her treatment. Does anyone know what happened to her?
Sad news, he got a good round of applause at half time at the Lane when they mentioned how ill he was, I definately got the impression this news wasn't far off just by the way Cliff Jones was almost talking about him in the past tense.
One of the greatest ever goalkeepers (some would say the best there's ever been) - Lev Yashin - used to say that he only feared one centre forward in all the hundreds of games and internationals in which he'd represented club and country. And who was that one individual?
Step forward a certain Mr Robert Smith (RIP) of THFC and England.
Yashin said Smithy was the most frightening opposition number 9 he'd ever come across.
very sad to hear about this. Bobby was a real legend. I am old enough to be privileged to have seen him at his peak. Saw him score 4 goals in the 10-4 win over Everton in Billy Nick's first game as manager.
greavesy has said on many occasions the Smudger was his favourite centre forward partner and never ever got the credit he deserved for his high level of skill.
