Robert "Bobby" Carmichael Mitchell (July 19, 1924 – April 8, 1993) was a Scottish football player. His position was forward.
Mitchell started his career with Third Lanark in 1942, spending seven years with the "Hi-Hi" before joining Newcastle United for £16,000 in February 1949.[cite book | last = Lamming | first = Douglas | title = A Scottish Soccer Internationalists Who’s Who, 1872-1986 | format = Hardback | publisher = Hutton Press | year = 1987 | id = (ISBN 0-907033-47-4) ] He played for the "Magpies" from 1949 to 1961, becoming something of a cult hero amongst supporters who nicknamed him 'Dazzler'. He was an instrumental part of the team that experienced much success in the 1950s, winning three FA Cups in a five year period. He made a total of 408 appearances for the club, scoring 95 goals.]
After leaving Newcastle, Mitchell spent one season with Berwick Rangers before returning to Tyneside as player-manager of Gateshead.[ He left this role in 1964 and became a publican in Newcastle.][ ]
Mitchell won two caps for the Scotland national team, and scored on his debut against Denmark in 1951. He also twice represented the Scottish Football League representative team.
