Bobby Downes (footballer)
Robert David "Bobby" Downes (born 18 August 1949) is an English former footballer, coach and manager, now Head of Recruitment at Nottingham Forest. He started his playing career as a left back, later becoming a left winger. After starting his career at West Bromwich Albion, Downes played 470 games in the Football League for Peterborough United, Rochdale, Watford, Barnsley and Blackpool.〔 He won the Fourth Division title with Watford in 1977–78. He later worked as a coach at Blackpool, Aston Villa, Port Vale, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Watford, and Blackburn Rovers, before being appointed Head of Recruitment at Nottingham Forest in February 2013.
==Playing career==
Born in Bloxwich, Staffordshire, Downes started his career as an apprentice at West Brom. He turned professional in 1966, but joined Peterborough United the following year having failed to make a league appearance. After two seasons as a squad player at Peterborough, he joined newly promoted Rochdale at the end of the 1968–69 season.〔〔〔 He was a first-team regular at Rochdale, as they managed to stay in the Football League Third Division for four consecutive seasons. Following their relegation in 1974, he transferred to Watford, for a fee of £10,000.〔〔 Downes missed just three games in his debut season at Vicarage Road, but Watford were relegated to the Fourth Division at the end of 1974–75, and were unable to obtain promotion in the following two campaigns.〔
Mike Keen was replaced as manager by Graham Taylor in June 1977. Taylor decided that Downes, who had previously spent much of his career at left back, should play further up the field; Downes was ever-present on the left wing in the 1977–78 season, scoring 10 goals in all competitions as Watford won promotion as champions of the Fourth Division. He faced increased competition in 1978–79, but nonetheless made 46 appearances as Watford secured a second consecutive promotion, and reached the semi-finals of the League Cup.〔 However, Downes only managed 10 Watford appearances in 1979–80, and was sold to Barnsley for £10,000 in March 1980, playing a part in Barnsley's improved form at the end of that season.〔〔〔
After two years at Barnsley, he joined Blackpool on a free transfer in 1982. After two years as a player-coach for the Tangerines, he retired from playing in 1984.〔〔
