About Bob

“Big Bob” played for Slough between 1936 and 1947.

Slough was Bob’s only club, and no club could have had a more loyal and whole-hearted player. Bob never took his eyes off the ball from the start to finish of a game, and had a determination and concentration and the will to give his best in every game.

He weighed 13 stone 10lbs and was almost six feet tall - rather a formidable proposition for any timid forward - yet Bob was a scrupulously clean player and a credit to Slough United both on and off the field.

Bob was married to his wife Doreen, with a daughter, Jacqueline, but answering to the name of “Jackie”. Bob was also a committee member and chairman of the players' committee.
