Met Bobby twice.
Both times I was a bumbling mess & went fullon fanboi. I was less nervous meeting MickeyO, Goodesy & Kels than Bobby... But he was so easy to talk to & took a genuine interest in me & what I was awkwardly trying to say.
An absolute champion of the game, let alone our club.
Happy (belated) Birthday Bobby!!

Number 1 member at my footy club so get to see him a bit and even had the pleasure of coaching his grandson for 3 years , Bob was never short of advice. One of life's great swearers as well lol
The Chimp, you legend.
My earliest recollections of the Big V at Subi was Skilton & Aylett, they didnt ever disappoint.

Aylett was a disappointment as he shut down South Melbourne
A bloody good tough footballer, who saw the writing on the wall allowing the VFL to survive a few years more.
