Bobby Robertson
Date of Birth: 14-02-1959
Position: Full Back
Joined:
Appearances: 411
Substitute Appearances: 11
Goals: 9
Nationality: Scottish
Previous Clubs: Leven Royals
Subsequent Clubs: Alloa Athletic
Born: 14.02.1959 Leslie (Scotland)
Debut: 20.08.1977 v Queen`s Park (SLSD)
Last Game: 07.05.1988 v Celtic (SLPD)
Bobby was signed by George Miller on an `S` form in 1975, then on 22nd July 1977, Harry Melrose offered the 18-year-old a part-time contract, and even though this coincided with the start of his medical studies at Edinburgh University, Bobby was soon a first team regular.
Bobby was also a player who could play in almost any position. He played in midfield and at full back, and sometimes covered centre half duties too.
Bobby was part of the team that won promotion in `1979, the Second Division title in 1985/86 then, as captain, winning promotion the following season to the Premier Division. He bowed out at the end of season 1987/88, having made 412 first team appearances for the club - the fifth highest in Dunfermline`s history.
By now Dunfermline were geared up for full-time football, which made it difficult for Bobby to retain his place in the Premier side of 1987/88.
He went on loan to Alloa later that season, but by then Bobby had decided that he wasn`t going to stay at East End Park since he couldn`t go full-time and wouldn`t be able to do himself justice as a part-timer. His final match in May 1988 was a Premier League match against Celtic at Parkhead in front of a capacity crowd - a fitting tribute for a player who gave his all for the club.
Bobby played a further two seasons at Alloa before hanging up his boots at the age of 31. Despite gaining coaching badges, Bobby wasn`t tempted into that side of the game. But he was tempted back to East End Park putting his skills to good use as the Club Doctor.
