This is the moment Robbie Williams made a 94-year-old fan’s wish come true.
Norma, a resident of Humberston Care Home in North East Lincolnshire, told staff she had followed the singer from when he was in Take That and had always wanted to see him.
The home organised for her to see a Robbie Williams tribute act and then went one step further by organising for her to speak to the singer, who admitted he was urged to call her by his daughter, who had seen Norma’s story online.
Norma said: “I was absolutely amazed. I really was surprised.
“Nothing like this has happened to me before.
“He was in America, laid out on the bed. I nearly said to him you could have got done up for me!”
The moment was organised by Bailey Greetham, who holds fitness and wellbeing sessions with residents, and films videos on behalf of the home.
He added: “She said I was off to a Robbie Williams tribute but I am a little bit upset because it’s not the real Robbie.
“I had the camera with me so I said let’s film something and we put it on the internet and it got a million views and Robbie was tagged 5,000 times.”
While Rohl did not dig out his defenders, former Rangers striker and coach Billy Dodds wasn’t as generous.
“The Rangers defence, that was as bad as I’ve seen it this season,” he said on TNT Sports.
Given some of the goals Rangers have coughed up under Rohl and his predecessor Russell Martin this season, that is quite the statement.
Rohl’s assessment was that those two defensive mistakes cost Rangers, but in reality, the margin of victory could have been greater for Ferencvaros.
“For the second game in the row in this competition, I see a team who is competitive and a team in a forward process, but I see a team, especially in this competition, destroy the hard work in two, three situations,” Rohl said.
The home side had 13 shots in the Rangers box, four of which were squandered by striker Bamidele Yusuf, who could have had a first-half hat-trick.
In attack, Miovski’s fine finish was the one moment of quality for a Rangers side who struggled to create. Indeed, their seven shots was the lowest they have registered in a Europa League match this season.
Keane – assisted by former Aberdeen boss Stephen Glass – was asked if he was surprised by the Rangers team he came up against, but chose to focus on his own high-flying outfit.
“I knew they were going to play three at the back,” he said.
“I can’t speak too much about them because I’m not bothered about them. I knew we’ll always score. We were brilliant tonight, everybody to a man.”
ROBBIE Williams has revealed he’s planning to get a WIG as he admits he’s going bald – weeks after claiming fat jabs were ‘making him blind’.
The Angels singer, 51, has always been something of an open book, and during his latest appearance on a popular podcast, he opened up about his hair woes.

Robbie, who is sporting a salt and pepper stylish spiked hair do at the moment, said: “I’m losing my hair… This is all powder and scaffolding now.
“I’m thinking about getting one of them hair systems.”
He continued on the Games Gone: The Steve Bracknall Podcast: “So I’m a pop star. That’s what I do for a living, you know…you’re supposed to have some sort of looks and some sort of hair.
“I’ve got powder in. That’s why it looks alright now. But it’s on its way out. And I’m thinking about getting one of them hair systems.
He said: “I was quite an early adopter of the jabs but what I’m also noticing is that my eyesight’s not very good.
“It’s been blurry for a while now, and it’s only getting worse. I don’t believe it’s age; I believe it’s the jabs.
“Everybody’s experiencing it, because I’ll say to people, ‘Blurry, right?’. And they go, ‘Oh s**t, that the thing?’.
“Of course it’s worrying and by being honest today, obviously I want to warn people reading this of the potential risks, to make sure they do their research.
“But seriously, I’m that sick I’d probably stay on it until the sight in one eye has completely gone.”
Last year a US study found patients using some fat jabs for Type 2 diabetes were four times more likely to be diagnosed with non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) — a lack of blood flow to the optic nerve which may lead to sight loss.
Of those, 164 specifically claimed the drug had damaged their vision. But scientists have not agreed that the medicines actually cause the condition — or by how much they increase the risk.
