Former England football manager Sir Bobby Robson will be given the Lifetime Achievement Award at Sunday's BBC Sports Personality of the Year show.
The award recognises his contribution as both player and manager in a career spanning more than half a century.
Players from the 1986 and 1990 England World Cup sides and Ipswich teams he led to the 1978 FA Cup and 1981 Uefa Cup wins will form a guard of honour.
Previous winners of the Lifetime Achievement Award include Bjorn Borg (2006), Pele (2005), Sir Ian Botham (2004), Martina Navratilova (2003), George Best (2002) and Sir Alex Ferguson (2001).
