Two men, 25 days, every pitch Bobby Robson ever touched — this is sports love on wheels.
On November 10th, Robbie Elliott and Phil Gray cycled across the Tyne Bridge in Newcastle (UK) and into St. James' Park to complete an epic 3500 mile journey in only 25 days. It saw them visit every club that SIR BOBBY ROBSON managed throughout his career. This feature film follows the duo's journey across Europe and tells the story of Sir Bobby Robson's life.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The cycle route deliberately followed Robson's managerial timeline chronologically, meaning they started at Fulham and finished at Newcastle — saving the emotional homecoming for last.
Released five years after Robson's death, this became part of a wider North East mourning process that included stadium murals, charity matches, and the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation's continued cancer research funding.
