Robert Henry Dimond (4 Nov 1929 – 30 May 2020)[1] was an Australian rugby league footballer who played in the 1940s and 1950s.
Back in 1948, an 18 year old youth, Bobby Dimond, was playing centre for the lowly Dapto First Grade team.
In the space of a few short weeks, however, he had become famous on the strength of half a dozen sterling performances in first class League company.
Bobby, who gained a last minute inclusion in the Country side on the wing, had as his vis-a-vis, Sydney's outstanding winger, Bob Lulham.
After his grand displays in these games, Bob was selected to tour England and France with the Kangaroos, being the youngest player ever to gain this high honor.
