RIP Bob Leggett

Posted on November 24, 2025 By admin

Everyone at Phibsboro Chess Club was greatly saddened to learn of the passing of Bob Leggett. Bob was a long time member of the club, who served as Club Secretary and on the committee for many years. A special memory for the club is when Bob captained the Bodley Cup winning team of 1986 (see below).
