Playing career

Bob left his local club to travel to England to play for Sheffield Wednesday before the club gained admission to the Football League in 1892, making a name for himself when scoring in a 4-1 defeat of League side Bolton Wanderers in the F A cup earlier that year. [ [http://www.freewebs.com/captainbeecher/1892.htm Giant Killers 1892] ] He went on to make forty-five appearances in Wednesday's first two League seasons and after a brief spell back in his native Scotland with Third Lanark, he then joined Bolton Wanderers in 1895, making one hundred and twenty-one appearances, ninety-four of them in the top flight. Brown also briefly had a loan spell at Burnley in 1896, making four appearances but was unable to save them from relegation. He retired in 1901. [www.allfootballers.com]
