The athletics community in Scotland was sad to hear of the passing of Bob Stephen, but he’ll be especially missed by everyone who knew him through his involvement with Victoria Park City of Glasgow.

Both Bob and Dora Stephen were involved in athletics for many years and indeed he was granted Honorary Life Membership of scottishathletics back in 1992 and later became a life member of City of Glasgow AC.

Bob started as an athlete with Shettleston Harriers and was Scottish Triple Jump champion. In fact, he won the Scottish title in that event in 1952, 1953 and 1955.

He then moved into coaching and officiating at the highest level. He was Chief Judge at the Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh in 1986 and later became very involved with the Glasgow Marathons, the Sports Council for Glasgow and Scottish Schools.

Bob was still heavily involved in athletics when City of Glasgow merged with Victoria Park in 2007.

His 2 granddaughters were members of the newly merged Victoria Park City of Glasgow. Michaela Stephen was an excellent endurance athlete and Suzanne Begg was one of Scotland’s top junior sprinters. Bob was an ever present at the track side, cheering them on and they both benefitted from his guidance and experience. 

Bob was one of life’s true gentlemen and we look back with much fondness on our many conversations with him.

He will be sorely missed by his family, friends and all who knew him in the wider athletic community.  Our condolences are extended to all the Stephen family and Bob’s friends.
