Stu Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 Sad news that basketball player Robert Archibald, who was originally from Paisley, has died. The only Scot to have played in the NBA. I remember he got his big move about the time I was doing work experience at the Gazette between school and going to uni. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/basketball/51248659 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 Terribly sad, such a young man. I wonder if this this lad was the son of Bobby Archibald who attended Foxbar Primary at the same time as I did (pre-1966) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure one of the articles I read earlier mentioned his dad was called Bobby and had played basketball as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
