Back to GoS-DB Hub Find Another Player BOBBY SAXTON Born: 06 September 1943 Came from: Derby County Went to: Exeter City First game: 03 February 1968 Last game: 13 September 1975 Appearances: 257 (248/9) Goals: 7 Saxton was brought to Home Park from Derby County for £12,000 in 1968, having begun his career in non-league football with Gainsborough and Denaby United. His arrival at Home Park was too late, however, to prevent the Pilgrims from sliding into Division Three. More disappointment followed a year later when a broken leg, sustained in a car accident, kept him out of action for a year. The good times arrived when he was the driving force in Argyle reaching the League Cup Semi-Final and again during the promotion season of 1974-75. A whole-hearted and dedicated footballer, Saxton was strong in the tackle and a totally committed Argyle player for over seven years. He joined Exeter City in 1975, becoming player-manager, and returned to Home Park as boss in 1979. APPEARANCE DETAILS [Reselect Competitions] The details below reflect appearances in all first-team competitions. |
