Robert 'Bob' Snell (born 15 February 1903 in Collie, Western Australia – died April 1983 in Adelaide, South Australia) was an Australian rules footballer who played for East Perth in the West Australian Football League (WAFL), West Adelaide in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) and New Town in the Tasmanian National Football League (TANFL) between 1923 and 1933. ==Career== Snell started his career in 1923 with East Perth and the following season finished second in the Sandover Medal. He sought a clearance to join West Adelaide for the 1925 season but after East Perth refused he had to wait until 1927, playing amateur and junior competitions in the meantime. A centreman, Snell was a member of a West Adelaide premiership side in his debut SANFL season in 1927. In 1929 he won the Magarey Medal, being the last medallist known to the man who donated the award, William Ashley Magarey, as Magarey passed shortly after the 1929 SANFL season. Snell then moved to Tasmania in 1931 to play for New Town in the TANFL. In the height of the Great Depression Snell could earn up to A£10 per game and the same in wages playing in the Apple Isle. He returned to West Adelaide in 1932 and stayed with the club until his retirement from playing in 1933 having played 84 games and kicking 16 goals for Wests. Snell represented South Australia 13 times in Interstate football between 1927 and 1929. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert Snell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
