Quinn thinks of Bobby after derby humiliation

SUNDERLAND chairman Niall Quinn resorted to the wisdom of Bobby Robson as he sought solace in the wake of last week’s 5-1 Tyne-Wear derby defeat.

On the day he was unveiled as the a patron of the Bobby Robson Foundation, Quinn admitted that the former Newcastle boss was still a source of huge comfort to him.

“In adversity, Bobby would probably be the right man to have at your side because he would have told you how to bounce back, and if it came from him, you would take it in.
