Former England football manager Sir Bobby Robson will be given the
Lifetime Achievement Award at Sunday's BBC Sports Personality of
the Year show.
The award recognises his contribution as both player and manager in
a career spanning more than half a century.
Players from the 1986 and 1990 England World Cup sides and Ipswich
teams he led to the 1978 FA Cup and 1981 Uefa Cup wins will form a
guard of honour.
Previous winners of the Lifetime Achievement Award include Bjorn
Borg (2006), Pele (2005), Sir Ian Botham (2004), Martina
Navratilova (2003), George Best (2002) and Sir Alex Ferguson
(2001).
