ALL Football League matches on the opening weekend of the season will be preceded by a minute's applause to honour Sir Bobby Robson.
The former Fulham, Ipswich and Newcastle manager died this morning at the age of 76 after a long battle with cancer.
Players will also wear black armbands during matches on August 7/8/9 as a tribute to the man who led England to the World Cup semi-finals in 1990.
League chairman Lord Mawhinney said: "The thoughts of the Football League, our clubs and their supporters are with Bobby's family and friends today. We will miss him."
