Biography
Bob Starkey was a member of the Nottingham Union Boat Club coxed fours selected to represent Great Britain at the 1928 Olympics. Unfortunately, they were eliminated in their opening heat. One of Nottingham, and Starkey’s, finest moments came at Henley in 1932 when he was bow to the coxless fours crew that was beaten in the final of the Wyfold Challenge Cup by Thames RC. It was the Nottingham club’s first appearance in a Henley final. Starkey later emigrated to Canada with his wife and family.
