Bobby Torrance

Biography

Bobby was signed by Jimmy Bone early in the 1985-86 season from Brechin City in a swap which saw Allan Kennedy move to Glebe Park. He was a regular in our front line for the rest of the campaign, scoring just under a goal every two games. He continued to play regularly in our forward line up until late autumn when he dropped out of the team due to an ankle injury and after the appointment of John Young in mid-December, he only played five more games before dropping out the team entirely in late January 1987.
