Robert Cameron (born Greenock, Scotland, 23 November 1932) is a former professional footballer who played for Queens Park Rangers, Leeds United and Southend United.

Playing career

Cameron was a Scottish schoolboy international and joined Queens Park Rangers, where he scored 59 goals in 256 league appearances between 1950–51 and 1958–59. He joined Leeds United in 1959 at a time when Leeds were struggling and were relegated from the First Division at the end of the 1959–60 season. Cameron scored nine goals in 58 league appearances for Leeds, but his playing time became scarcer during the 1961–62 season and he joined non-league club Gravesend and Northfleet at the end of the season. He returned to the Football League with Southend United in October 1963.

Cameron was an attacking player with a cheerful disposition but casual attitude who would seek the ball so to get it forward.
