Good luck to Bobby!
Former England manager Sir Bobby Robson was doing well in hospital today after being taken ill at a match.
The 73-year-old complained of feeling unwell 10 minutes into yesterday's Championship clash between Ipswich and Crystal Palace.
Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust spokeswoman Elaine Patten said: 'Sir Bobby is feeling very well, and once his investigations are completed he will be discharged.'
It was not known when that would be.
Robson had been paraded in front of the crowd at Portman Road before the match after being named honorary club president.
A statement released by the club yesterday read: 'He was attended by the club doctor and, as a precaution, was transferred to Ipswich hospital.'
Robson's cancer specialist, Dr Hugh Davies, was his guest at the match and accompanied him to the hospital.
The former Newcastle boss had a cancerous tumour, spotted when he had an X-ray following a skiing accident, removed from his lung in May.
That was the third time he has had a cancer scare - having beaten the illness twice before, in 1992 and 1995.
The hospital said yesterday: 'Sir Bobby is in our accident and emergency department having routine tests and is comfortable.'
Ipswich manager Jim Magilton, who was taking charge of his first game, was shocked by the news.
'There was no prouder man in the stadium today than me, knowing that Sir Bobby was in the stand,' said the Irishman.
'When a man of his stature is rushed into hospital then the result doesn't matter. As long as he's okay, we'll be okay.'
