Personal life
His father, likewise named Robert and known as Bob, was also a footballer. The older Ferrier achieved success playing for Sheffield Wednesday in the early 1900s. It was during this spell in Yorkshire that his son was born, and although the family moved back to Scotland and young Bob played all his football there, he was ineligible to play for the Scotland national team under the rules of the time due to his birthplace. Additionally his uncle Willie Speedie (brother of Scottish international Finlay Speedie) and nephew Bob Speedie played for the families' hometown club Dumbarton.
