Buy the book by Paul McGuigan and Paolo Hewitt about him The Greatest Footballer You Never Saw: The Robin Friday Story
It's basically interviews/newspaper articles from when Friday was playing... It's a good quick read.
Semi-Famous for that SFA cover too.

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

Yes there was. Sounds like a legend. He kicked Lawrenson in the face and received a red card before defecating in Lawrenson's kit bag
