It's been 24 hours since I heard and TBH the news hasn't quite sunk in.
I first met Rob about ten years ago, around the same time I met Pete, and I'd often see him at some obscure places, always one of the loudest people any football ground, or pub, he entered.
It seemed at times as if everyone knew Rob and Rob knew everyone, be it on a train, in a pub or at an away ground you always knew Rob was there, the life and soul of every gathering, wherever we travelled the day was always a little more interesting and fun if Rob was along for the ride.
He made everyone feel so welcome and lifted people around him, it's hard to believe that has gone.
I'm sure for Pete and the rest of the family the days will be a little sadder. My days certainly will.
RIP.
