Suffolk Hospital,
in Bury St Edmunds.
Mark Robson, one of Sir Bobby’s sons and
part of the auction committee, said: “Sadly,
cancer is likely to affect every one of us in
one way or another and my family knows first
hand the pain it can cause. That’s why we are
so committed to continuing the work started
by my father in supporting research for new
treatments.
“My family and I are
very grateful to everyone
who has already contributed a prize and we continue to be astounded by
the generosity of the businesses and individuals who get involved.”
The online auction is being supported by
Breakthrough Breast Cancer Patron, The
Prince of Wales, major football and sports
clubs globally, plus sporting bodies, and many
other organisations.
Gina Long, the auction’s founder who is
based in Bury St Edmunds, added: “I was lucky
enough to know Sir Bobby and Lady Elsie for
over 35 years.
“Sir Bobby was loved the world over and I
wanted to create something very special to
honour him and raise crucially-needed funds
for the wonderful charities.
“The online auction is a fantastic platform
that allows everybody to become involved in

n The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation was
set up by Sir Bobby in 2008 and he devoted
the last 18 months of his life to it.
n It funds projects within the Newcastleupon-Tyne NHS Foundation Trust to help
improve early detection and find more
effective treatments for cancer.
n It directly benefits cancer patients within
the North East and Cumbria and
contributes significantly to the wider,
global fight against this terrible disease.
n Ground-breaking clinical trials of new
cancer drugs are being done at the Sir

helping us raise crucial funds for the Sir Bobby
Robson Foundation, Breakthrough Breast
Cancer and the two Suffolk hospitals.
“We have been overwhelmed by the global
support and want to encourage businesses
and individuals to get involved by generously
becoming a prize donor – it really will make
the biggest difference in helping us to create
what we think will be one of the most exciting
and high-profile fundraisers of 2013.”
EADT editor Terry Hunt, a member of the
fundraising committee, said: “The EADT is
proud to be a major supporter of this initiative to raise £1m for Sir Bobby’s Foundation.
Sir Bobby has legendary status in East Anglia
thanks to his achievements with Ipswich Town,
and it was typical of his
inspirational personality
that he should spearhead
such an important campaign to help the battle
against cancer, which he
fought five times.’’
The auction is being supported by BT Sport
and BT MyDonate, the Football Association,
the PFA, LMA, and many celebrities and sports
stars.
With many of the auction lots for 2013 still
a closely-guarded secret, those interested in
donating a prize need only see the list of those
involved in 2011 to know the illustrious company they would be keeping.
Some of the star lots were Jose Mourinho’s
FIFA Ballon D’Or 2010 World Coach of the Year
Award Trophy, along with FC Barcelona donating two prizes to watch them training, meet
the players, receive a signed shirt and being
VIP guests at Camp Nou.
Sir Alex Ferguson, Josep “Pep” Guardiola,
Andre Villas Boas, Alan Pardew, Arsene
Wenger, Lewis Hamilton, Gary Lineker,
Graeme Swann, David Beckham, and Ant and
Dec were all fellow donators of lots.
Auction committee chairman Lance Bradley,
managing director of Mitsubishi Motors UK,
said: “Whether it’s a VIP football or sporting
experience, a holiday, a year’s supply of chocolate, a luxury weekend break, unique one-off
experiences, we need businesses and individuals to support us by donating prizes.
“Those who do will not only enjoy the association with some of the world’s biggest sporting
names and exposure in our extensive marketing campaign, they will also have the satisfaction of knowing they are supporting cancer
causes close to the hearts of Sir Bobby Robson
and his family.”

AN ENGLAND cricketer, television
presenter and former Ipswich Town
chairman are among those calling on
people to get behind Sir Bobby’s
Breakthrough Online Auction.
Graeme Swann, Chris Hollins,
former Blues striker Alan Brazil and
David Sheepshanks are members of
the fundraising committee and last
night told of their pride in being part
of the ambitious initiative and their
admiration of the iconic former
England manager.
And they all were confident that the
total could be reached – if the public
gets behind the campaign in memory
of a man who, during his glittering
career, was also in charge of Ipswich,
Newcastle, Fulham, PSV Eindhoven,
Sporting Lisbon, Porto and Barcelona.
Mr Swann said: “I have always been
a Newcastle fan and a fan of Bobby
Robson and the efforts to raise this
amount of money for such a worthy
cause is quite unique. The prizes that
were on offer last time round and the
sheer number of money-can’t-buy gifts
this time round reflects on the
popularity of Sir Bobby.”
Television presenter Mr Hollins,
who is best-known for being the sports
correspondent for BBC Breakfast until
2012 and for winning Strictly Come
Dancing 2009, said: “Sir Bobby is so
well loved inside and outside of
football and for what he has done for
cancer awareness.
“He was a man who adored the
game but always had time for
everyone and that is a very, very fine
quality in anyone. I’m sure that people
will support the campaign and help us
reach the target.”
Former Ipswich Town chairman
David Sheepshanks, who only last
week took up a new role as chairman
of UK Community Foundations, said
he was confident the target could be
reached, especially with the name of
Bobby Robson associated with the
fundraising.
He said: “I can think of very few
people who can inspire such emotions
as Sir Bobby and want to support such
an initiative. He was a person held in
such extraordinarily high esteem by
the nation and people have him in
their hearts and it’s significant that so
many people in the world of football
want to support this campaign all over
again.
“We have a broadly-based
committee which is led by an
indefatigable and infectious campaign
organiser such as Gina Long.”
One-time Ipswich Town favourite
Alan Brazil, and currently radio
presenter on the TalkSport Breakfast
Show, was also confident of the £1m
being reached.
Mr Brazil, who also played for
Scotland, Tottenham Hotspur and
Manchester United during his career,
added: “It was heartbreaking when
Sir Bobby was diagnosed with his
illness but this campaign is superb
and I’m delighted to be part of it as I
believe that we should do all we can to
look after others.”
