Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox football biography Robert Bauld (14 March 1902 – 19 October 1980) was a Scottish professional footballer who played as a left half and inside forward. He played in the Scottish Football League for Raith Rovers and Dundee United,[1] and in the English Football League for Bradford City and Chesterfield.

Career

Born in Cowdenbeath, Bauld was the son of the colliery under-manager at nearby Glencraig.[2] He played junior football for Glencraig Celtic and began to attract the attention of a number of senior clubs. In October 1920 he appeared as a trialist for St Bernard's in a Central League match against Dundee Hibernian[3] and was reported to have "played well" at right back.[4] Later that month, Bauld was also due to play as a trialist for Cowdenbeath in the Central League, but missed the chance due to suspension after he was sent off playing for Glencraig.[5]

On 4 December 1920, Bauld "gave a satisfactory display" turning out for a Scottish Select in a junior international trial match against Dumbartonshire at Clydeholm, Clydebank. He was then selected to appear in a further trial match, for the Rest of Scotland against Glasgow at Firhill Park, Glasgow on 4 January 1921.[6] His performance at Clydebank also led to further interest from senior clubs, with approaches from Raith Rovers and Celtic before Bauld agreed to appear for Rangers "A" in a Scottish Alliance fixture against Ayr United "A".[2] He also had a trial with Tottenham Hotspur before signing for Raith Rovers in January 1921.[7] Bauld made his Scottish League debut for Raith in a 1–0 victory over Aberdeen at Stark's Park on 8 January 1921,[8] when he "gave a sterling exhibition in his first senior game".[9]

Bauld moved from Raith to Dundee United on 31 October 1923 for a fee of £100.[10][11] He scored 30 goals in 143 games across all competitions for them.[12] He moved to Bradford City in July 1927,[13] for a transfer fee of £350.[12] He scored 34 goals in 217 appearances for them in the English Football League, as well as scoring 1 goal in 10 FA Cup appearances.[14] He moved to Chesterfield in May 1935,[13] making a further 2 league appearances before retiring.[15]
