From The Moora Herald and Midland Districts Advocate newspaper, Friday 24 June 1921:
Death of Robbie
"Word came through last week that Robbie, that rattling little player for the Wanderers, who has been playing on the Fields for the past season or two, had died suddenly from heart disease. Those who remember this sterling little player give him the credit of being one of the best players ever seen in Moora, and a real good sport and a clean player of the game. His prowess was soon recognised on the Fields, and he was amongst the best of the Boulder players."
