Bob 'Big-Time' Burton

It is with regret that we announce the sudden passing of Bob “Bigtime” Burton at the age of 72. Bob died after collapsing whilst out with his rugby friends on 7th December 2010.

Bob, a mischievous and colourful character in local rugby, played his rugby at Broadstreet RFC (Broad St Old Boys mostly in those days) in the 60’s and 70’s and went on to blow the whistle with Warwickshire Society of Referees. He supported his club regularly on Saturday afternoons and was always available to provide an interesting yarn about past exploits.

Our thoughts and condolences go to his family and friends at this time.
