"Bob was key to selling the old Edmiston House to raise the £1m to buy the Training Centre land.
"Bob was also key to us buying Richard Gough.

Another cried: "Sad news. My thoughts and deepest condolences go to Mr Reilly’s family and friends at this difficult time."
A third said: "Bobby was my boss when I worked for the Lawrence Group. He was a gentleman and hilariously funny.
"So sad to hear this news."
Meanwhile, a fourth person added: "Was a true blue! Very nice man.
"The photograph in his office of Graeme Souness with Frank Sinatra was a classic!"
Another person said: "Such sad news.
"Bob was a legend alongside his second in command Brian Main, my favourite memory of them was the old European Cup Tie on a horrible wet night against Marseille when we brilliantly got a draw after being two goals down, if I remember correctly Gary McSwegan."
