Robert "Bob" Preston was a Scottish professional footballer who played in the Scottish League for Heart of Midlothian and in the Football League for Plymouth Argyle and Torquay United. He played as a wing half or centre half.[1][2]

Preston was born in Edinburgh. He made his debut for Heart of Midlothian in the Scottish League First Division in 1919,[1] and remained with the club until the 1922–23 season. He then came to England to play for Torquay United,[3] then a Southern League club, and moved on to Third Division South club Plymouth Argyle in 1923. He made 147 appearances for the club in all competitions. His last game for Argyle came at the end of the 1927–28 season, and he returned to Torquay United, by then a Football League team, for the following season.[2][4]
