Tributes to ex-United youth player and Jimmy Grimble star Bobby Power following cancer battle

An 'inspirational' personal trainer devoted to his family and helping others has tragically died following a gruelling cancer battle. Social media has been flooded with tributes to dad-of-three Bobby Power, who passed away aged 40.
Bobby was a youth player at Manchester United in the 1990s and starred as 'Gorgeous' Gordon Burley in cult 2000 football film, There's Only One Jimmy Grimble. More recently, he gained a huge following on social media as a motivational fitness guru who loved climbing outdoors and sharing messages to help others.

That made Bobby's devastating diagnosis even more shocking to his loved ones. Recalling the moment Bobby told her he had pancreatic cancer, mum Estrella Barry said: "I was like 'no way, not you... you're going to live to 110'. But unfortunately it was true."
Bobby first felt something was wrong as he felt more tired than usual after climbing a mountain, and he 'thought it was down to training'. But he soon began lacking appetite, before he began to appear 'yellow'.
