He was the midfield dynamo who powered Sunderland to FA Cup glory in 1973 and Bobby Kerr is back in the news.
The new centre will now provide a dedicated support space at the museum for people living with dementia and their families in Sunderland.
We could not let the occasion pass without paying tribute to Bobby and some of the memorable moments he has given us over the years.
We have a gallery of Sunderland Echo photo memories showing him from his days as a young SAFC player in 1967 to Bobby in 2023 when he looked back at that famous day at Wembley.
Tell us about your memories of watching Bobby play. Email [email protected] to tell us more.
