Anybody heard if it was a success or not - I'm guessing it was as I think we'd have heard if not ?

Op went "very well", tumour removed, says bbc sport. I`m guessing he`s not come round just yet though.

He`s had a bit of a setback. Anyone got any info?

Swelling on the brain, he's paralysed down his left side, but its only temporary apparently.

BBC from yesterday said:

The statement released on Thursday said: "Sir Bobby Robson continues to make good progress after major surgery which involved complete re-section of a tumour from the motor cortex part of his brain.

"Thankfully he does not require any follow-up chemotherapy or radiation treatment.

"Sir Bobby is in good spirits and talking about his recovery. He is out of bed, enjoying reading the papers, watching television and listening to the radio to keep up to date with the latest football news.

"However, he has a slight swelling on his brain which is causing a temporary loss of movement in part of his left leg and left arm. This is being treated with physiotherapy. He will therefore remain in hospital for the time being."
