I don't think he was that bad, just that with the big price tag, people expected something a bit better.
Compared with the £400K on Darren Bullock and £330K on Drysdale, £650K on Robinson and getting 7/8 years out of him wasn't bad money |

Robinson I think has a season ticket in the DRS. He had massive shoes to fill after Kerslake and Summerbee. He was a good servant for us. Like Oaksey writes, there's a long list of players which didn't work out as well.

To be fair, during the 95/96 McMahon promotion season, he came in for Seagraves as an emergency centre half, ended up playing a lot of games there and he was excellent.
So it wasn't all bad. He was ridiculously over priced though.
Ever present in the league that season too. |

Yeah solid but unspectacular. I think it was the price that confused people into thinking we were getting another Kerslake. It did me for sure.

I always felt he played better as a centre half anyway. |

Robinson was a great wing back for us. You don't play over 250 games for us and get labelled crap. The chap deserves more respect from Town fans. I will never forget the 95/96 season, he was amazing. (A lot better crossing than Brad Smith atm) Fair play to him for the continuing buying season tickets. Top man. |

Didn't Robinson get sent off once for absolutely clattering John McGinley...
Assuming I havent imagined that, its worth the transfer fee alone.

League Cup Semi Final First Leg at the CG - actually the WJMc gets away with yet another late niggly foul, drawing a retaliation from Robinson (off camera) and our Robbo is sent off. My face was contorted with rage as I gestured angrily at the ref which was a bit embarrassing as I knew him in a business context. It was Paul Alcock to whom Paolo more emphatically showed his disapproval to a red card. Start the clip at 26'30" if you want the incident in all its vile glory.
