    I know Sir Bobby is sometimes a bit slow but...

    From Sky.com:

    Newcastle United manager Sir Bobby Robson has told how his England caps were stolen during a raid on his family home and appealed for help to track them down.

    The former England manager, who last month celebrated his 70th birthday, was burgled 18 months ago but has only just realised 12 caps are missing from his Suffolk home.


    Sir Bobby told The People sports paper SP: "I am distraught. They are the most valuable things I won in my career and I am appealing to anyone who may know anything to get in contact with me."

    He added: "The England caps are the most precious items of my football career. They mean a lot to me and they are irreplaceable.

    "When I found out about the theft my head could not hit the pillow. I could not sleep for two days afterwards."

    Sir Bobby, who took England to the World Cup semi-final in 1990, played 20 times for his country and scored four times.

    In 1958 he represented England in the World Cup finals in Sweden.

    But he is best known as a manager, guiding Ipswich in the 1970s and 1980s before taking the England reins.

    Sir Bobby then went abroad to manage PSV Eindhoven, Sporting Lisbon, FC Porto and Barcelona before returning to his beloved north-east of England.

    "I would like to appeal to the guy who took them to return them to me or to anyone who has bought or been offered England caps to get in contact with me," he said.

    Or maybe the People were just short on stories (again!). Whoever took them are still little bastards tho! :mad:
