Edwin Robert "Bob" Herrod (1866 – 1918)[1][2] born in Radford, Nottingham was an English footballer who played as a forward.[3]

As a 15-year-old, he lived in Derby earning his living as a gimp maker.[4]

After moving from Derby St. Lukes, he became a top scoring winger for Doncaster Rovers in the Midland Alliance for the 1890−91 season, netting 14 times in all League and cup games.[5] This attracted attention from Leicester Fosse from the Midland League who signed him in September 1891.

After one goal in eight games, he moved to Rotherham Town.[3] He scored in a record 11−0 defeat of Leicester in April 1892, where Leicester were disadvantaged by having to play with only ten men as a player didn't turn up.[6] He later played for Derby Town.[3]
