| Financial problems arise as Bobby's investment in a golf/country club goes sour. Bobby's reign as England captain comes to an end following poor performances. His time at West Ham also concludes with a move to Fulham. Attempts to subsequently move into football management come unstuck with a position at Watford falling through despite an earlier promise from chairman Elton John. A move by Bobby to a position in Hong Kong is combined with the breakdown of the marriage. A reconciliation fails leaving Tina to start a new life in Florida where she is very happy. On a trip back to the UK Tina happens to meet an older and ill looking Bobby on a train, the last time they saw each other. | ||||||
