Who is Bob McKinlay?

Robert McKinlay, known as Bob McKinlay or Bobby McKinlay, was a Scottish professional footballer who played as a centre half. McKinlay spent his entire career with Nottingham Forest, making 614 appearances in the Football League – a club record, including a run of 265 consecutive league games between April 1959 and October 1965; missing a single game against Aston Villa, he then played in the next 134 games. He won a FA cup winner's medal in 1959, and was Club captain from 1961 to 1966.

The FKS 1968/69 album notes: "Leggy pivot who is steady and reliable - so much so that he has set up a record number of club appearances since turning professional in October 1949 and making his debut v Coventry in October 1951. A Scot from Lochgelly."
