Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Robert James Browne (known as Bobby Browne) (9 February 1912 - 1994) was a former Irish footballer who played as a wing half. He was one of ten children of Catherine and John, and his youngest brother Leonard was killed when HMS Firedrake was sunk. Born in Derry, Ireland, Browne began his career with his local team, Derry City FC. There, he won a North-West Senior Cup and represented the Irish League in 1935. However, the Leeds United manager of the 1930s, Billy Hampson, seemed to have a predilection for young Irish talent, and one of the first he brought to Elland Road was Derry-man, Browne. It took a Pds. 1,500 fee to prise the talented wing-half from Derry in October 1935, and he went on to make well over a hundred appearances in the Leeds first-team.
