Until the middle of July the media group will give 20% of the revenue from its videos to the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation and should England win the World Cup in South Africa a further 10% will be added.

Sir Bobby's son, Mark Robson, said: "We're very grateful that Virgin Media has offered their support with this tribute to my dad. It's a fantastic way to raise funds to help improve the lives of other people fighting cancer and to make people aware of his charity. The money raised will help fund clinical trials of new cancer drugs, which is something dad was passionate about.

"Italia 1990 is remembered as one of the highlights of dad's career. He was extremely proud to be manager of England and his team's achievements in Turin were unforgettable. It was a very special tournament which inspired so many people in a way only the World Cup can."
