Robert "Bob" Donaldson (27 August 1868 – 28 April 1947) was a Scottish football player. He played as a forward.
Donaldson played for Airdrieonians and Blackburn Rovers before joining Newton Heath in 1892. He scored 66 goals in 147 appearances for Newton Heath. The first of these goals, scored against Blackburn Rovers on 3 September 1892, was also the club's first ever league goal. However, Newton Heath lasted just two seasons before demotion to the Second Division, where they remained when Donaldson retired from playing football in 1897.
Famous quotes containing the word bob:
“Upon entering my vein, the drug would start a warm edge that would surge along until the brain consumed it in a gentle explosion. It began in the back of the neck and rose rapidly until I felt such pleasure that the world sympathizing took on a soft, lofty appeal.”
—Gus Van Sant, U.S. screenwriter and director, and Dan Yost. Bob Hughes (Matt Dillon)
