Guests on Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ recent ‘Sir Bobby Robson Cruise’ from Harwich to Amsterdam and Newcastle, were taken on a trip down memory lane with reminiscences of the much loved Ipswich Town, Newcastle and England football manager.

Former Ipswich players including Allan Hunter, George Burley, John Wark and Bryan Hamilton together with guest of honour, Lady Elsie, helped to raise £8,853 through raffles and auctions that took place during the cruise.

Nathan Philpot, sales and marketing Director for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said: “We were delighted that this proved to be such a successful cruise and are extremely grateful to Lady Elsie Robson and the ex-Ipswich Town players for their participation and fundraising efforts.”
