'Bobby came in and turned us around'

It is 25 years since Sir Bobby Robson took charge of his first home game for Newcastle.

Magpies fans have been offering their favourite memories of his era at the club on BBC Radio Newcastle's Facebook page:

Daniel: Bobby came in and turned us around. The 8-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday right at the start really set us off. From looking like a side going down, to qualifying for the Champions League within what, 18 months? That shows the class of Sir Bobby. A gentleman that loved Newcastle. One of the very best.

Ross: Craig Bellamy's last-gasp winner away to Feyenood - what a night we had in Rotterdam after that.

Ben: 8-0 first home game, Champions League, breaking the London jinx, getting to the FA Cup semi-final and getting to the Uefa Cup semi-final.

Jonathon: 8-0, then going top at Arsenal, and the Feyenoord game instantly spring to mind.

Michael: EIGHT NOWT v Sheffield Wednesday on the day of his first home games as manager. Later on, meeting him along with my eldest daughter at Newcastle 's WH Smith on Northumberland Street on a sunny Saturday afternoon in the close season. Marvellous.
