Career

Hamilton Bobby was born around 1967, the youngest of a total of ten children, and began playing football at a young age. His parents died before Hamilton was 14 years old. Besides him, one of his older brothers, Xavier Pius , was also active as a professional football player; he played for Mohun Bagan AC , among others , was a national player and was employed by State Bank of India for 34 years until his departure in early 2014 . Hamilton Bobby represented his home country in their U-16 selection in Burma and in the U-23 national team in the Maldives .

Under the former international and later football coach K.P. Sethumadhavan attracted attention and after two to three years at the Chennai club, he was brought into the football team of Tamil Nadu , representing the Indian state of the same name, in 1993 at the age of 26 . There he formed a congenial attack duo with Syed Sabir Pasha for years; Bobby as an attacking midfielder and playmaker and Pasha as a dangerous center forward. He was demonstrably active for the team up to and including 2000 and represented it seven times, including twice as captain, at the annual Santosh Trophy .

This was also the time in the early 1990s when the Indian Bank seriously tried to establish its football team in Indian league football. With the team he played in the highest Indian soccer league, but rose with the team at the end of the 1998/99 season for the first time in the second division. They stayed there up to and including the 2001/02 season before they managed to rise again to the top class as runner-up behind Dempo SC . Already in the two second division seasons before that, they were just about to get promoted again, but in the end they could never prevail against the competition. After the team was spared a renewed relegation to the second division at the end of the first division season 2002/03, the direct relegation followed only a year later, when the team was the clear last with only eight points achieved again relegated to the second division. After that, the team was far from being promoted again and at the end of the 2007/08 season even went down by another level. However, Bobby did not have to experience this anymore, who in 2005, now 38 years old, after 15 years of club membership, decided to give up his club career. Instead, the former State Bank of India bank clerk wanted to end his career at FC Kochin , which is now also under-class .
