Bob in Sport
Bob is still to be heard at many major sporting functions.
He has appeared four times at the
Footballer of the Year Dinner – a record
- twice at the PFA Player of the Year Awards
and at
74 of the 92 Premier/Nationwide clubs. He stars in the
“Great Goalkeepers Show” with Gordon
Banks and Pat Jennings and has also
made an LP on football humour, which has twice been
featured on British Airways comedy channel.
Nor are his appearances confined to football. Cricket, rugby
and golf audiences have all had
the benefit of his sporting “expertise.”
