Well this is awful news to go to bed on. Bob was an excellent keeper for us, ultimately displacing Peter Shearing and playing 220+ games for us between 1970-76. He played for bigger clubs prior to joining us, including Villa and Cardiff City, then in the old 2nd Division. He played in Europe for the latter. I got to know him when I refereed many a game when he played for Willeys, circa 1980. A great keeper, up there with the best, for us. We were very lucky he came our way. RIP Bob.
