EXCITING NEW SIR BOBBY’S TEAM COMPETITION!
An exciting new competition offers the chance to test your football knowledge and join what Sir Bobby called his “last and greatest” team by supporting our work.
Just £5 to enter, all proceeds come directly to us, this fun competition is simple to enter and has some amazing prizes thanks to our friends at the Great North Run – including a VIP Great North Run 2023 Experience with a helicopter ride to the finish line. Why not give it a go?
This September, a group of experienced football journalists are running the Great North Run as Sir Bobby’s Team. And, as we know what Sir Bobby considered his best team away from the pitch, they’ve put their heads together to come up with his best team on it… Now, it’s your turn to see if you can guess their starting line-up!
Using a 3 4 3 formation and a shortlist of players, our football experts have made a collective decision and come up with Sir Bobby’s ultimate starting line-up based on the very best players he ever managed.
This shortlist has the blessing of Sir Bobby’s family who know that, with such limited numbers and such a wealth of talent to choose from, some extremely difficult decisions were taken in selecting players.
Test your football knowledge and select your own Sir Bobby Team – goalkeeper, three defenders, four midfielders and three up front – and help support the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation in the process.
⚽️ Thanks to the Great North Run, first prize is an incredible 2023 VIP Great North Run experience for two including breakfast at the Hilton, meet and greet with notable runners at the start and winners at the finish, hospitality and transport, and a VIP helicopter ride from the start to the finish (full details in T&Cs).
⚽️ Our 20 runners up will also receive a very special prize thanks to the Great North Run – a superb technical t-shirt, production limited to just 20, the same design as worn by Sir Bobby’s Team on the run.
All entrants who accurately guess the chosen 11 players chosen by our football experts will be entered into a prize draw and a winner chosen at random.
If nobody selects all 11 players correctly, the entrants who accurately guessed 10 players will be entered into a prize draw, this process will continue until a winner and then 20 runner ups are chosen. The competition closes at 11.59pm on Monday 12 September.
Part of Newcastle Hospitals Charity, the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation funds a range of cutting-edge cancer treatments and innovative cancer support services including the clinical trials of new drugs.
