Robert Campbell

CampbellcopyBorn Lugar Boswell in Scotland, he began his professional career at Partick Thistle. He joined Glasgow Rangers before joining Millwall on a year’s loan. He joined City in 1906. In a long career at Valley Parade he won a Second Division Championship medal in 1908 and made nearly 250 appearances for the Bantams.

Renowned for his hefty clearances, the popular full-back was one of the stars of the FA Cup triumph. On a tour of Belgium, the locals nicknamed him L’Aime, due to the fact he rarely had a smile off his face. Robert was a fine all-round sportsman, being a keen angler and a professional cricketer with the Clydesdale club.

He retired to Scotland during World War One. He died in Ayr County Hospital in 1931, aged only 49.
