Robert Brown Bennie (28 September 1873 – 1 October 1945) was a Scottish footballer who played in the Football League for Newcastle United.[2] [3] He came into consideration for an international cap in 1902, taking part in the Home Scots v Anglo-Scots trial,[4] but this did not lead on to selection for Scotland.
He was a member of a footballing family: older brother Peter (a teammate at St Mirren)[5] and younger brother John had short careers in Scotland,[3] nephew Peter played for Burnley in the 1920s and nephew Bob played for Scotland in the same period.[6] [7]
