Born Or Died: 1912 Bob Dennison born, Amble. (1929-34) Centre half who made his first team debut in a 2-0 home victory over Sheffield United in February 1933. The remainder of his ten senior outings came over the following fourteen months, netting against the Blades and Aston Villa in the 1933/34 season. Moving on to Nottingham Forest, Bob also appeared for both Fulham and Northampton Town, later managing the Cobblers. July 1954 saw Dennison appointed as Boro boss and he would remain at Ayresome Park until 1963, handing Brian Clough his debut. Following his sacking, Bob won £3,200 in an unfair dismissal case and went on to take charge of Hereford United. Later acting as assistant boss of Coventry City under Noel Cantwell, he helped the Sky Blues avoid relegation during a three month spell in caretaker charge at the end of 1971/72. Dennison retired in 1978 and lived in Kent until his death in 1996. _____________________________________________________ It seems we've had quite a few players from Amble over the years, has anybody heard of Bob Dennison before?
