Bob Hay was born in Burnie in 1938 to Mr and Mrs Ronald Hay.[2] He grew up in Deloraine and attended the local Area School.[3] [4] As a teenager, he was fortunate that his involvement in a motorcycle accident left him only shaken and not badly injured.[5]
Hay played with Longford in the NTFA during the mid to late 1950s and was coached by Fred Davies.
He then joined St Kilda in 1960.
Hay was captain-coach of Rutherglen in the Ovens & Murray Football League from 1962 to 1965.
When he returned to Tasmania, Hay played with Launceston in the NTFA during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
