Biography

Bobby played trials with Falkirk and Stenhousemuir in the first half of the 1954-55 season, playing against us for the Larbert side in a league game in early December. After impressing in that match, he was given a trial by us in the New Year derby against Forfar Athletic and he was signed up after the game from his junior club Rosewell Rosedale. During the second half of the 1954-55 campaign, he competed for the number 1 spot with George Robertson, and by the end of the season he had established himself as first choice.

For the next four seasons, Bobby didn’t miss a single game, and he would play in an incredible 212 consecutive competitive games for the club before eventually missing a game against Raith Rovers in early November 1959 through injury. The following week he was immediately back in the team, and he featured in every competitive game up until the end of August 1960, when he was sold to St. Mirren after a bid of £3500 from the Paisley side was accepted.
