Arsène Wenger has described the death of Sir Bobby Robson as a "sad day for football".
The former England manager passed away on Friday morning at the age of 76 after a long battle with cancer. He was a true legend of the game who will be remembered for his endearing character as well as his success as a player and a manager.
Wenger crossed paths with Robson on a number of occasions and paid tribute to him when he faced the media ahead of the Emirates Cup.
“It was a shock because Bobby was a man of exceptional stature and someone I loved because he had an optimistic view of mankind and a positive vision for football," said Wenger.
"We will miss him badly because people miss people of his stature and vision.
"It’s a very sad day for English football but football overall.”
