Sir Bobby Robson has vowed to stay on as Newcastle manager, possibly for another two years and he is determined to win some silverware.

Football's newest knight has admitted he has set his sights on winning a trophy for his hometown team before he retires.

The 69-year-old - still hoping to be reunited with his former Barcelona charge Rivaldo at St James' Park next season - insists he is hungrier than ever to add to his trophy collection in the twilight of his career.

"I will stay on at Newcastle for another year, or maybe two," he said.

"I want to bring some silverware to the club and our wonderful supporters - that would finish off a perfect job for me here.

"It's wonderful to be back where my roots are."
