Newcastle crisis hits testimonial match for Sir Bobby Robson

20 June 2009 02:24
A charity match in honour of Sir Bobby Robson is under threat because of the apathy surrounding Newcastle United. Fewer than 1,000 tickets have been sold for the legends game between England and Germany on July 26, a re-run of the 1990 World Cupsemi-final in Italy and is set to feature Paul Gascoigne and Peter Beardsley. Beyond belief: Newcastle relegated but STILL players land a £10m bonus Money raised will go to Sir Bobby's cancer fund but club officials have now earmarked the game as a testimonial to him.
