Plans to honour the late Sir Bobby Robson with a national football day have been unveiled by the FA.

Roughly 150 events will take place across the country for the Sir Bobby Robson National Football Day on 10 August, which will see the FA focus on many aspects of the game including women's football, disability football, refereeing and coaching.

Former England captain and patron of The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, Alan Shearer said: “Sir Bobby sums up everything that is great about English football.

“From elite success – guiding England in their best World Cup showing on foreign soil and top club honours in England, Spain, Portugal and Holland – to his love for the grassroots game and natural affinity with the fan in the street.

“On a national and international level, his contribution to football cannot be underestimated.”
