Robert Hamilton (Scottish footballer)

Robert Cumming Hamilton (13 May 1877 – 2 May 1948) was a Scottish international footballer who played as a Centre forward and was known for his prolific scoring record and for his ten-season association with Rangers.

[4] Hamilton moved south of the border to join Fulham in May 1906, helping them to win the 1906–07 Southern League title,[1] before returning to Rangers a year later.

[1] After three full seasons and part of a fourth at Dens Park,[5] he returned to first club Elgin City in 1913 where he finally retired.

[1][7] After retiring from football Hamilton went into education, and after graduating from the University of Glasgow he became a school teacher then eventually master.

In the late 1950s/early 1960s a new road in a private housing estate overlooking the River Lossie at the north side of Elgin was named after him as Hamilton Drive, which still remains today.
