Bob Farmer

Robert 'Bob' Farmer is a former Australian [rules football]er who played for Collingwood in the Victorian Football League during the 1960s.
A centre half forward, Farmer was aged just 16 years and 363 days when he made his senior VFL debut in 1964. He struggled to establish a place in the Collingwood team which made the finals in five of the six seasons that he was at the club, although he had a good season in 1968, kicking 22 goals and was chosen to represent Australia in the Australian [Football World Tour|'Galahs' World Tour] that year.
The only final Farmer played was his final league game for Collingwood; the 1969 Preliminary Final loss to Richmond at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where he kicked two goals. Farmer then accepted a lucrative offer from South [Australian National Football League] club West Adelaide, which included "a fully furnished flat, a good position with a cigarette company and a weekly match payment 'too good to refuse'".
