By The Way

Bob Cass had a reputation for being a story-getter, breaking many exclusives involving the top names in the game. He built up an extensive list of contacts working as a football writer first with The Sun but latterly the Mail on Sunday. After a long battle with cancer, Bob passed away aged 78 in November 2016 to tributes from the likes of Gary Lineker, David Beckham, Sir Alex Ferguson, Alan Shearer and Niall Quinn.
