Robert John "Bob" Neilson (9 August 1923 – 14 October 2014) was a New Zealand rugby league player who represented his country.
Playing career
Born in Reefton in 1923, Neilson played for West Coast at a provincial level, and was a member of the New Zealand Kiwis in 1952 and 1953.[1]
He toured Australia with the New Zealand Kiwis in 1952 but didn’t appear in the test matches. However, he appeared in all three tests in the 1953 series against the Kangaroos in New Zealand, scoring the match-winning and series-clinching try in a 12-11 victory in the second test in Wellington.[2]
