Some Famous People called Bobby Thoms
Bobby Thoms
Bobby Thoms (15 July 1909 – 6 February 2003) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Sandringham Football Club in the VFA, and St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
The former Essendon footballer Clarrie Hearn was appointed captain-coach of Sandringham for the 1936 season. In June 1936, Hearn tendered his resignation, citing "pressure of business". Rather than seek another coach externally, Sandringham decided to split the coaching duties between the team's captain, Bob Thoms, as captain-coach, and its vice-captain, Bill Mitchell, as his assistant, for the rest of the season.
