Biography
Robert C. "Bunny" Bell (10 April 1911 – 25 December 1988) was a footballer who played for Carlton, Tranmere Rovers and Everton.
On Boxing Day 1935, he scored nine times in Tranmere's 13–4 defeat of Oldham Athletic, at that time an English record. He might have made it 10, but missed a penalty. He scored 57 goals for Tranmere during the 1933–34 season, and ended his Tranmere career with 104 goals in 114 games. Bell then signed for Everton, but the outbreak of World War II effectively ended his career.
