Bobby Stephen (1934)
Biography
Bobby initially featured twice as a trialist in Division Two games against Queen’s Park and Greenock Morton and after two impressive performances he was signed up from Aberdeen East End in mid-December 1958. He was our regular inside left for the rest of the 1958-59 campaign, helping the club secure promotion to the top division, but the following season he struggled for game time and after making just two appearances up until November he was given a free transfer by mutual consent, going on to join Highland League club Buckie Thistle a few weeks after his release.
