Bob Perry

Robert Perry (1 November 1892 – 18 June 1960) was a Scottish association football center half who played in Scotland and England before being banned by the Football Association for match fixing. He then moved to the American Soccer League for the rest of his career.

Perry began his apprenticeship with King's Park F.C. In 1912, he moved to Bury F.C. in The Football League. In 1919 he had a short spell back in Scotland with St Mirren. On 29 May 1923, the FA suspended Perry and several others for life for match fixing three years earlier.

He moved to the United States and in the fall of 1924, signed with J & P Coats. He played 19 games there at the start of the 1926–27 season before moving to Fall River; however, he only saw time in two games and ended the season with the New Bedford Whalers. In the summer of 1927, Perry began the season with the Hartford Americans, but by October the league requested the team withdraw from the league. When they did so, Perry returned to J&P Coats (in 1929, new ownership changed the name of the team to the Pawtucket Rangers) where he played until 1930. He remained in the area with his family for the rest of his life, and died in 1960.
