Born in Burnhead by Larkhall Bobby Hogg was a miner's son, who might have gone down the pit as a youngster but for whom football was a very early way out. Having already played for local club, Royal Albert, and in 1931 winning three junior caps, that same year and at just seventeen he was signed, aright-back, by Celtic. Moreover, a little over a year later he was a First Teamer, there for the next six to the war, and within months a Scottish Cup winner. And he was also to be a stalwart of the Celtic team, re-built after an otherwise fallow early decade to the point that it took the League title in 1936, again in 1938 with a Scottish Cup in between. In fact even post-War he, now over thirty, had two more seasons in him.
