All I can say is if he was better the Diesel Williams….bloody hell!As a kid I never missed a South Melbourne game, I absolutely loved Bobby Skilton, to me there will never be anyone as good as was, I would go every week, in fact I had my first junior membership in 1964, week after week we would get absolutely thrashed and every week I watched Bobby Skilton get bashed from pillar to post because they could not stop him any other way, he was just a legend, played his heart out, I was at the game when he got knocked out and got those 2 back eyes, his Brownlow year, my uncle who was a social club member would take me into the social club after the game, players would then come in and mix with the members, I had a huge photo of Bobby which I took into the social club with me for Bobby to autograph, he knew me by name in the end, I was there so often lol ( just drinking raspberries lol) anyway he signed my photo and bought me a raspberry lol, but yeh, to me he is the greatest Swan player I have ever watch play. The sad part of the story, my uncle who was a member all through those lean times never got to see any of our success.
