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.

If only I knew...

I had John Goldthorpe and Jumbo Muir, plus, on at least one occasion, Keith MacRae. Good but not what was to come.

Started going in 1977-78 season just after bobby left but my dad said him and pettigrew were just immense

So sad

One of the most "cultured" players to don the C&A. A wonderful player and a deserved member of the Hall of Fame. RIP Bobby.

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 ‘Well about 1967 and Bobby was without any doubt the best centre-forward I ever saw.

Sincere condolences to Bobby’s family at a sad time.

RIP Bobby.

Sad to here the news of Bobby passing……Motherwell born and bred 

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 …..Bobby still managed to be included in  the poll The 100 Players who shook the Kop (2013)“

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 leg……. John Toshak was signed to replace him

 

Still think he could have done a job for us but sadly moved across the M74 where he continued to score 

R.I.P

As a young boy I was privileged to  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. 

RIP Bobby 🙏

I honestly don't know what pictures Hanley has on his phone but someone needs to steal it before we have to endure another campaign with him in the team

If we had these two and we remained injury free we’d win the league this year.

And Dykes must be keeping the body in his freezer.
