Jodami Posted September 16, 2019 Him, Gibson and Busby are among the first players I remember seeing as a wee boy. What's the point of beating your man once if you can do it twice, the classic example of the maverick winger. RIP, my condolences to his family.

Back to 2005 Posted September 16, 2019 Not sure if I saw him play or not as first game was in 1979. His name got chanted in many a pub over the years such was the high esteem he was held in. RIP Bobby. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stuart G Posted September 16, 2019 I used to go to.matches with Rabs brother when we were at high school, it was great seeing a local guy from Mayfield make it at the team I supported and even better knowing him, obviously he was a hero of mine growing up and it was sad news hearing this earlier today. RIP Rab, another Hearts man taken too early. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His name got chanted in many a pub over the years such was the high esteem he was held in. RIP Bobby. According to London Hearts. His final appearance was in a 4-0 defeat at Ibrox on 28/4/79. Do you remember the details of your first game. Opposition,result etc? EDIT: it looks like he was an unused sub in that game. His last appearance seems to be a 3-0 defeat by Celtic at Tynecastle on 18/4/79. Edited September 16, 2019 by iantjambo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

martoon Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, Morgan said: Oh no! One of my very favourites as a wee boy. This is terribly sad news. RIP Wing wizard. "Oh no" was my first thought when I opened the thread, Morg. Bobby signed for Hearts when I was five and was my idol as a wee boy in the '70's. Never cried for a departed player but feeling this more than any before. God bless, Rab. RIP Edited September 16, 2019 by martoon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

martoon Posted September 16, 2019 Remember my dad coming back from the derby at ER in 1976 in which Bobby equalized late on. His delight says much for our derby record in those days but it prevented another defeat when they were commonplace at the time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

merrymac Posted September 16, 2019 Very sad news indeed. RIP Bobby . Was one of the few bright sparks in a pretty poor Hearts Team in the 70's. Great to watch.

upgotheheads Posted September 16, 2019 So sorry to hear this, One of the most exciting players I ever saw at Tynecastle. I have never seen anyone with such quick feet and skill on the ball. As I recall he joined us in the following close season after Andy Lynch left for Celtic around Christmas. Word was that he was part of the deal. To be honest he didn't quite fulfil his potential because players who liked the ball at their feet and to beat a man were quickly targets by the Neanderthal tendency. To his family: thanks to him for the memory. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
