Papers lead on Sir Bobby tributes

The death of ex-England manager Sir Bobby Robson dominates Saturday's papers.

"Footballer, manager, hero" is how the Times describes Sir Bobby, who lost a battle with cancer, beneath a portrait that fills half of the front page.

The Independent , above a photo of him at the start of his time as Newcastle United manager, says he was one of the most popular figures in the game.

Publishing an eight-page pull-out, the Daily Mirror simply bids farewell to a "true football legend."

Hacked down

Most papers are indignant after Gary McKinnon lost the latest stage in his legal bid to be tried in the UK for hacking into US computer systems.

"Show some guts, Mr Johnson" demands the Daily Mail , urging the home secretary to stop the extradition of a 43-year-old with Asperger's syndrome.

It says his relatives are aware an election looms and the Tories have said they would review the Extradition Act.

The Daily Telegraph says 40 MPs are appealing directly to President Obama.

High anxiety

Many of the papers explore what the Daily Express describes as "weeks of woe" for British Airways.

It has grounded 22 planes and axed seven routes, notes the Daily Star , after losing £148m in the three spring months which normally see big profits.

The Guardian says it has been a "summer from hell" for the company.

And the Financial Times considers some of the other consequences of the losses - including the scrapping of most meals on short-haul flights.

Thin blue line

A new crime-fighting gadget has gone up in smoke, the Daily Telegraph says.

The paper reports batteries for mini cameras fixed to police helmets have been catching fire, and officers want to avoid a hair-raising experience.

But a dummy car used by officers in Worksop, Notts, has had more success, according to the Sun .

The man police caught breaking into the decoy to steal a satnav system was a one-man crimewave responsible for 157 previous offences, the paper reports.
