Bob McNab
Robert McNab (born 20 July 1943) is an English former footballer who played as a defender. McNab featured for clubs Huddersfield Town, Arsenal, Wolverhampton Wanderers, San Antonio Thunder, Barnet, Vancouver Whitecaps and Tacoma Stars in his playing career. He also played for England's national football team.
As a manager he was at the helm of Vancouver Whitecaps, Tacoma Stars, San Jose Grizzlies and Portsmouth.
Born in Huddersfield, Yorkshire, McNab started out at local club, Huddersfield Town, where he made close to seventy appearances. In October 1966 he was signed by Bertie Mee for Arsenal for £50,000.
He made his debut for the club in a defeat to Leeds United on 15 October 1966. McNab went on to become a regular and to play in the 1969 Football League Cup Final which Arsenal lost to Swindon Town.
With Arsenal he won the 1969–70 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. In the back line alongside Pat Rice and Frank McLintock, McNab played 62 matches in Arsenal's Double-winning season, missing just two games, and winning a League and FA Cup Double in 1970–71.
He missed much of the 1971–72 season due to injury, with Sammy Nelson deputising for him, though he was able to play at Wembley in the 1972 FA Cup Final which Arsenal lost to Leeds United.
McNab returned to full fitness, playing over 50 matches the following season. However, in 1973–74 he suffered another curtailing injury and again had to share the role of left back. With the younger Nelson being in favour, the 32-year-old McNab left the club on a free transfer in the summer of 1975. In total he played 365 matches for Arsenal, scoring six goals.
After leaving Arsenal, he at first played for Wolverhampton Wanderers before linking up in the U.S. with the NASL's San Antonio Thunder. He then returned to England to join up Barnet, only to move back across the Atlantic to Canada where he played for the NASL's Vancouver Whitecaps, where he brought his playing days to a close.
