Bobby Roberts!

Missed it. Damn. Always a hero to me with that goal at the kop end against the trees- the game that's in the roof Wembley special. 4-2.
 
Had to take over as emergency goalkeeper a couple of times. Once at Old Trafford in a 1-1 draw if my dimming memory is correct. Fearless years before it became our motto!
 
He scored in my first ever game, 2-2 home vs Everton, 1966/7. Have always remembered it as a shot from outside the box at the Filbert St end, but I could be very wrong. It's s long time ago and I was only 7

Great player.
And he could put a tackle in. Wasn’t intimidated by anyone.
 
Nice bloke, a great player Bobby still lives in Anstey and can often be seen taking long walks in the area.
In the 1-1 draw at Salford, Bobby saved a penalty if his memory serves him right. :)
