Robert Rollo Jack (4 April 1902 – 1994) was a footballer who played primarily as an inside right[2] in the Football League in the 1920s and 1930s.[2]

He was the brother of David, the England international footballer, whilst his father Bob was also a professional footballer and manager.[3]

Rollo started as a trainee with Plymouth Argyle, making his debut on 23 December 1922 against Watford,[4] before moving north to join Bolton Wanderers for £1500,[5] where his brother was playing. He made his debut for Bolton on 22 December 1923 against Notts County.[5] However, in six seasons with Bolton he only made 29 League appearances.[2] He then moved to Clapton Orient in September 1929 for £1000[5] and he played regularly for them over the next three seasons. Rollo then moved into non-league football with Yeovil and Petters United of the Southern Football League, before a transfer back to the Football League with Swindon Town for the 1934–35 season, and he made 20 league appearances for Swindon, scoring on two occasions.[6]
