Bob Donnelly (footballer)

Robert Donnelly (9 September 1908 – 3 June 1969) was a Scottish footballer who played as a centre half for Partick Thistle, Manchester City and Morton.

While with Partick, he was selected for a Scottish Football Association tour of North America in the summer of 1935; none of the matches was considered a full international.

[5][6][7] He moved to Manchester City as a replacement for Sam Cowan for a £5,000 transfer fee a matter of days after his return from tour,[4] and was a member of the squad when the Citizens won the Football League championship in 1936–37, albeit he made only five appearances during the campaign[8][9] with the more experienced Bobby Marshall moving back from an inside forward role to play in the heart of the defence.
