Bob Isbister Jr. was an all-star and Grey Cup champion Canadian football player, playing from 1937 to 1943. He was the son of Canadian football hall-of-famer Bob Isbister.
A graduate of the University of Toronto and a star with the Varsity Blues, Isbister joined the Toronto Argonauts for a brief but successful football career. Playing only 11 regular season games and 6 playoff games for the Boatmen, he won two Grey Cup championships and was twice an all-star. He was transferred by his employer to Hamilton in 1939, where he joined his father's team, the Hamilton Tigers, and was once again an all-star selection.
Isbister joined the RCN during World War Two and played two final seasons with the Halifax Navy squad.
