Bob was inducted into the St. Louis Soccer Hall of Fame in 2002 and was the recipient of the Silver Boot award in 2007.
Bob was a fast, agile Forward who could shoot from anywhere with either foot, with a cannon-like shot compared to the late great Bill Rogles, said to have had the hardest shot in St. Louis Soccer history. He led every team he played for in scoring. While at Kenrick Seminary he captained the 1956 National Junior Champions, St. Engelbert, and was drafted by the CYC All-Stars to face English League Champion Manchester United in the late 1950's. He wrapped up an illustrious playing career into the 60's with league champions, St. Engelbert and Good Counsel. Bob has since given back to the game having coached at the parish and select levels, and for the past 15 years has been coaching Special Needs Kids (SPENSA) at the St. Louis Soccer Park. A multi-talented athlete, Bob was inducted into the St. Louis Softball Hall of Fame in 1998.
