England football legend Bobby Robson has admitted that he is fighting a losing battle with lung cancer.
Robson, who was employed as a consultant by the FAI during Steve Staunton's recent reign as manager, says doctors have told him he is unlikely to survive his latest battle with the illness.
"I have accepted what they have told me and I am determined to make the most of what time I have left," he is quoted as saying this morning.
"I am going to die sooner rather than later, but then everyone has to go some time and I have enjoyed every minute."
