Bobby Campbell (Scottish footballer)
Robert Campbell.
There was another player of the same name, a forward, on St Mirren's books from 1959, and as a consequence they became known in match reports as 'Black' Campbell and 'Red' Campbell to differentiate. 'Black' Bobby Campbell stated that in training, he was referred to as "Boaby", a more common pronunciation in his native Ayrshire, while the Glaswegian 'Red' was simply "Bobby". The name issue seemed to have passed when 'Black' moved on to Greenock Morton in 1963, but two years later 'Red' made the same move. Both stayed at the club until 1966, with 'Red' Campbell then moving to play for Durban City in South Africa.
