Biography
Robert "Bobby" Robertson McFarlane (12 October 1913−1971) was a Scottish footballer who played as a wing half in the Football League for Doncaster Rovers.
Born in Bo'ness, Scotland, McFarlane played for Southern Football League club Margate in the 1935−36 season, including a 3rd Round FA Cup tie at Blackpool which was lost 3−1. He was signed by Arsenal the next season but failed to make any appearances.
