Played in the first town game I ever saw and was a very decent midfield player, sorry to hear he’s no longer with us. RIP Bobby.

Aggressive little player, bit on the style of Bob Cumming, think we got him from St  Mirren.

Had the pleasure of meeting Bobby recently and despite his obvious health issues still remembered playing for town. RIP Bobby

No nonsense midfield and layer in an era when teams had 14/15 man first team squads and you knew you were likely to be playing every week and not being released at end of a contract very different to today.
