Bob joined City in 1958 and enjoyed his time at Coventry under the Jimmy Hill years even if he was not first choice keeper.
He mused about the City support which travelled in large numbers in the 1960's and commented on that FA Cup game in 1963 against Manchester United which the third United goal still rankles him.
He was sold to Walsall in September 1966 and played for the Saddlers for seven seasons before he had his shoulder kicked out in an FA Cup tie at Kettering.
He retired from the game and started wondering what to do for a living. Along with his wife, he became a licensee in Appleby Magna and stayed in the pub trade for twenty years. When asked what he does now. "As little as possible", was the reply.
