Can’t believe that!! He was only 60 a true Latics legend who could run through brick walls.
Will never forget the goals he scored for the tics, he would be nowhere near the action then suddenly appeared to bullet a header in, or nip in between two defenders to toe poke home.
It led to us creating a saying between a few fellow tics when someone just arrived at the last minute to score. “He came fromt bottum ert Duggie to score that!”
RIP Bobby you was and always will be a Latics legend, two great seasons and a pretty impressive goal per game ratio.
Goodnight and God bless, another gone far to young. :(
From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!The TV interview was the best for Grandstand or something just before the 1/4’s against Leeds. No one could understand a word he said. If anyone has it post it up

“The service at St Peter’s was led by the Vicar of Lindley, Rev Rachel Firth and Lay Reader Jenna Codd.
Rachel said Bobby had been many things to many people. She said: “He was Bob to his family, a brother and an uncle, a friend and a neighbour, a drinking buddy and a football hero.”
She said his death “happened at the wrong time and in the wrong way. He has ended his own life.”
Rachel was anxious to add that there was no ‘stigma’ to what he had done and added that “others might seek help from the depression that overwhelmed Bob. There is great grief and great loss.””
