Always liked Robbo, hope he doesnt go back to his illness. Takes a big man to admit it and get through it

No to mention the Wendies at home, 2-0 down, 20 to go, and we pushed him up top. Patrick Collins probably still has nightmares about it. |

Oh, If he does retire it'll be a shame. I really like the fella! He was only sat a few rows from me at the Col U game the other week. I was looking forward to his return  |

According to yesterdays non league paper he has retired... Swindons former Wales Under 21 international Christian Roberts will snub any chance of playing lower league football after quitting the pro game at 28. Roberts has revealed that complications in a micro fracture of his right knee will bring down the curtain on an 11 year, 362 match career that encompassed a spell with Exeter. A clutch of Blue Square and Welsh Premiership outfits were monitoring Roberts' decision, but the Welshman will now hang up his boots for employment with Cardiff based One Vision Sports Management. He said "I saw a surgeon last Wednesday and listened to his advice. I feel it is best to finish completely. So is he going to become an agent or something?? |

Its excellent he has something else to get his teeth into so quickly. Good luck Robbo, it's gutting but if the knee could end up proper fucked its the only decision he could make.

That's probably a good job for him. Considering he's been through a lot of issues in his career perhaps he can help out other pros.
Good luck to him.

Such a shame. As much as people gave him stick he was a good player. You just have to look at some of his better performances to see what he was capable of. I've liked him as a player ever since he joined us and can only wish him the best in the future - he deserves some stability after pulling himself through difficult times. Would be nice for him to get a decent send off from the CG if it's official before Saturday

I do seem to remember something on tinpot local radio where Shaun Hodgetts asked Nick Watkins basically saying that it was still a private matter between Roberts and the club. I guess this was early last week...

Roberts did not want it public knowledge and is livid with the wdp. The adver did not run it as they were asked not to
