text: Newcastle United have upset supporters after dumping pictures of Sir Bobby Robson’s title-chasing team in a skip outside St James’ Park. Framed squad photographs of Sir Bobby alongside the likes of Alan Shearer, Gary Speed, Nobby Solano and Shay Given have been found discarded alongside grass cuttings, cardboard boxes and bin bags. The pictures were removed from corporate boxes inside the stadium and have been replaced by more recent images. Framed photographs of Sir Bobby Robson's title-chasing side were found thrown in a skip outside the stadium . The skip was situated outside St James' Park where fans were able to spot the disgraceful move by the club . Steve Wraith, of NUFC Fans United, told the Chronicle: ‘They could have auctioned them for charity, but just to put these things in the bin is awful. Now fans are talking about going and helping themselves. ‘They are pictures of club legends. I don’t think the club want people to be reminded of a time when they were doing well because they are doing so badly at the moment.’ Robson’s team finished fourth in 2002 and qualified for the Champions League, where they memorably made it to the second group phase after a last-gasp victory in Feyenoord. Alan Shearer, Gary Speed and Nolberto Solano are some of the legends who are included in the photos . Sir Bobby, who passed away in 2009, is still fondly remembered and has a statue outside of the stadium . In 2003 they topped the table for a period before finishing third, a return which has not been bettered in the years since. Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the club said the images were ‘old and not being used anymore’. But the ‘AshleyOut.com’ group, who are behind Sunday’s planned boycott of Newcastle’s home match with Spurs, tweeted: ‘Our proud history in the skip outside SJP along with ambition and hope’. Newcastle fan David Crosier tweeted: 'As a metaphor for the club this could not be more apt. Classless. There is nothing left to support at NUFC under this regime'. Former club captain Shearer (left) flourished under Sir Bobby and was instrumental in qualifying for Europe . Gary Speed (right), who died in 2011, was another player who loved playing for his former manager . Nolberto Solano (right) was a key figure in Newcastle's title challenge and is also seen as a club legend . Newcastle, who lost to Liverpool on Monday, have never been the same since Sir Bobby left the club . John Carver worked under Robson during his time in charge and should no doubt be upset by this move .
