Kmcalpin Posted September 4 Report Share Posted September 4 Very sad news and condolences to his family and friends. An amazing player, who struck up a telepathic understanding with Willie Pettigrew. I believe that came about by chance. I seem to recall he was a quiet, under the radar, type of player with his prolific sidekick receiving more publicity.Ā Bobby had the knack of having great foresight and positional awareness and brought out the best in others. RIP Bobby.Ā 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuwell2 Posted September 4 Report Share Posted September 4 Sad news, great player with outstanding awareness and defence splitting passes that - not taking away from Pettigrewās abilities - gave Pettigrew the chances.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted September 4 Report Share Posted September 4 One of my all time favourites, and quite a coup that we were able to sign him (thanks to his links with Ian St. John). Graham, Pettigrew, Goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted September 4 Report Share Posted September 4 Sad news. Him and pettigrew are the best partnership Iāve ever seen. Pettigrew of course scored the goals but Bobby had the skill to set up the chances but I think his greatest attribute was not setting up the chances but his ability to control a ball that came to him at any angle speed or height. His touch and ability to bring a ball under control was outstanding.Ā RIP Bobby 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mio Posted September 4 Report Share Posted September 4 Thereās quite a lot on social media from Liverpool fans talking about him too. Considering heād played with them such a long time ago it speaks volumes of the impact he had when he arrived there. Injuries really screwed him over at Liverpool.Ā I remember a friend of mine who knew him mentioned how he really didnāt like bill shankly which was the first time Iād heard anyone speak negatively about him. I think Bobby had got a really bad injury and was out for a long time and shankly didnāt speak to him at all after that. Would purposely ignore him if he were to walk past him. He then got him punted to Coventry? I think? without as much as a thanks and good luck. managers were mental back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpy Posted September 4 Report Share Posted September 4 One of our all time greats (IMHO), those of us of a certain vintage got to witness something special when he and Pettigrew were terrorising defences. RIP Bobby.Ā 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted September 4 Report Share Posted September 4 Bobby Graham and Wullie Pettigrew were the first strikers I remember from when I started watching Motherwell. So I grew up thinking the way they played was normal, and all the strikers I would see at Fir Park would the the same.

El Grew Posted September 5 Report Share Posted September 5 Very sad to hear that Bobby Graham has passed away. A truly fantastic player and the partnership that he had with Willie Pettigrew was just legendary. I began watching the āWell about 1967 and Bobby was without any doubt the best centre-forward I ever saw. Sincere condolences to Bobbyās family at a sad time. RIP Bobby. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pettywulliegrew-2 Posted September 5 Report Share Posted September 5 Sad to here the news of Bobby passingā¦ā¦Motherwell born and bredĀ Was very unfortunate to be at Liverpool at the time when Anfield was awash with great strikers, including St John, who signed him when he was our manager ā¦..Bobby still managed to be included in Ā the pollĀ The 100 Players who shook the Kop (2013)ā He played all 54 games in the 1969/70 season. After a promising start to the 1970/71 season, he fell awkwardly on the Anfield turf when Chelsea were the visitors early in October and was carried off with a broken legā¦ā¦. John Toshak was signed to replace him Ā Still think he could have done a job for us but sadly moved across the M74 where he continued to scoreĀ R.I.P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jym Bob Posted September 5 Report Share Posted September 5 As a young boy I was privileged toĀ play with Bobby at our primary school. He was some player. My hero was St John, so I was very interested in everything Liverpool, and followed Bobby's career. I was so pleased when he signed for the 'Well and what joy he brought with his partnership with Willie Pettigrew. Condolences to Bobby's family and friends. A true' Well legend.Ā RIP Bobby š Ā Ā 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
