Info:

Born in Burscough, Lancashire in 1918 he first joined Burscough Victoria, then Rovers as an amateur and then moved on to Bolton Wanderers. He turned professional and first signed for the Rovers in 1937 making his debut for the club against Swansea City in 1938. Bobby left the Rovers in 1948 to join Preston North End before re-joining the club in 1953.

He was in the Second Division Championship side and had seven England caps. In total I have made 262 appearances scoring 74 goals. He left the club in 1956 to join Ards then Wisbech Town in 1959.

Spoiler: show
- While Bobby Langton, capped 11 times while playing for Blackburn, Preston and Bolton, was a powerful left winger with a terrific shot.

- In a forward line that also included Tom Finney, Raich Carter, Tommy Lawton and Wilf Mannion England ran out 7-2 winners with Langton scoring the seventh goal. Langton, a direct speedy left winger with a powerful shot, went on to play 11 times for England.

- Originally with the Rovers he was a flying winger who could easily outrun defenders before making pin-point crosses. He first left the Rovers when they were relegated to the Second Division, when he returned, he was slower but opened up defenders with his guile.
