The Last Bob

[bibblebub]

Who was the last footballer with the first name Robert who called himself Bob?

For some time they've responded to Robbie or Bobby or even Robert but not Bob. Bob Latchford comes to mind but surely there must be some since his time.

Bob Wilson

Arsenal's Bob Wilson? He retired in 1974 when Latchford was just getting into his stride - he eventually retired in 1987.

It's my age, I forget easily these days...

Bob Martin, or to give him proper name, Roberto Martinez!

i always suspected Martinez of having a wet nose and being too personal with his sniffing

Thanks for the list, BlueToffee, and from those names it seems to be Bob Taylor who kept playing until 2007 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Taylor_(footballer)

Others who played after 1987 are Bob Lenarduzzi (1988), Bob O'Leary (1993), Bob Lilley (1994), Bob Mulder (2003) and Bob Catlin (2004).
