Bobby Thoms (15 July 1909 – 6 February 2003) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Sandringham Football Club in the Victorian Football Association (VFA), and St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]
The former Essendon footballer Clarrie Hearn was appointed captain-coach of Sandringham for the 1936 season. In June 1936, Hearn tendered his resignation, citing "pressure of business".[2] Rather than seek another coach externally, Sandringham decided to split the coaching duties between the team's captain, Bob Thoms, as captain-coach, and its vice-captain, Bill Mitchell, as his assistant, for the rest of the season.[3]
