I remember watching Bob when I was a kid – bowled big in duckers and set a three man leg trap as I recollect – probably would be borderline now in modern one day cricket.
He later dropped down to the seconds where I was playing in my teen years – I was on the receiving end many times of Bob’s ‘great scot’ outburst whenever I misfielded or dropped a catch. He never liked my long hair then and he still mentions it today!
