Bob Taylor (31 August 1924 – 27 September 2015) was a Scotland international rugby union footballer. Taylor played as a Flanker.[1]
Taylor played for Kelvinside-West.[2] When the merged team decoupled in 1951, Taylor went on to support West of Scotland.[3]
Taylor played for Glasgow District against Edinburgh District in the 1948-49 season's Inter-City match.
Glasgow won the Inter-City match 9 - 3. The Glasgow Herald noted that Glasgow had several chances and could have doubled their score; one of them being Taylor's knock on which should instead have led to a try.[4]
He was capped for 4 times in 1951, playing in 3 Five Nations matches.[5] He made his international debut against Wales playing in front of a then record crowd of 80 000 at Murrayfield Stadium.[6]
Taylor became an anaesthetist and worked at the Victoria Infirmary in Glasgow.[6]
