Hi Prando, told us a few years ago he had a bad stroke, I don't think he made a good recovery. Perhaps Prando might have heard more.

One of our greatest ever greats, sad to hear

Very sad news.
Sadly I never got to enjoy seeing him in an Albion shirt as he was leaving us in 72 at the point I started watching.
I was surprised to see how few games he played for Scotland, only 7 appearances seems to be out of balance with his ability?

Quite probably my favourite Albion player. He even had a couple of kick abouts with me and some mates when we were kids in Island Road Park Handsworth as he lived in a bungalow that backed on to the park. Consistently dropped crosses on to our little heads while still managing to walk his poodles. God bless him.

Hi Mick the lack of caps was down to Scotland at the time, only picking players who played in Scotland

One of my all-time favourites, would always be in my best Baggies XI, don't see many of his class these days. Didn't Bill Shankley once say stop Bobby Hope and you stop the Baggies?

Message from the club
West Bromwich Albion Football Club is devastated to learn of the passing of 1966 League Cup and 1968 FA Cup winner Bobby Hope.
The thoughts of all at The Hawthorns are with Bobby's family and friends at this desperately sad time.
(I believe that now leaves 6 from the 12 who played in the 68 FA Cup Final)
