A very good player. Often disparaged amd under-rated for being big and bustling but he had some smooth skills. Jimmy Greaves is credited as saying that he owed Bobby for half his goals by making space and clearing the decks for Jim to skip through the gaps.

Loved him.

Sad he passed

Chelsea was our feeder club before. Three of our very important players all came from them: Smith, Greaves and Venables.
