A PLAYWRIGHT inspired by football legend Bobby Robson is asking for creative help from the public.
Jarrow poet Tom Kelly is writing the play to celebrate his legacy and explore how one person can have a dramatic effect on another, without even knowing it.
Bobby Robson Saved My Life, will be performed at the Customs House, South Shields, in July and each performance will raise funds for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, which promotes cancer research.
Producer Gareth Hunter is looking for the thoughts of those who may never have met Sir Bobby but have been inspired by him.
He said: “We’ve already had contact and videos from a number of well-known personalities and those close to him but we’re most keen to get the thoughts of the public to help capture Sir Bobby’s spirit.”
Videos describing Sir Bobby in three words can be uploaded to the Bobby Robson Saved Mr Life Facebook page or via Twitter using the hashtag #3wordsforBobby.
