Bio
Recruited from Mentone, Bob Bosustow served a short tenure at Carlton during the mid-1950s, primarily operating as a wingman. He played 20 games across two seasons, struggling to cement a long-term position in the senior side before departing the VFL scene. While his personal statistical impact was modest, his legacy at Princes Park was revitalized decades later through his son, Peter "The Buzz" Bosustow. Although Bob's game count was not high enough to trigger a formal father-son selection, the family connection ties him permanently to the history of the club, serving as the precursor to one of the Blues' most electrifying eras in the early 1980s.
