Sad news indead, was in the Everton team when i started watching them early 60s , magnificent mid-field general, not many got the better of Bobby although there was nothing to him only 5ft 3 inc tall.

Just goes to disprove the theory i guess that a good biggen will always beat a good littlen.

Top player and had a very good goal scoring record for a midfielder.

RIP Bobby.
