ok, I'll play.. Why?

Don't care that he 'played' for Burnley, personally.

He screwed them out of a wage for a while, and was one of our few players who backed the fans against Kean. Will always remember his thumbs up behind his back to fans chanting 'Kean Out', and ignoring Kean's encouragement not to thank the fans vs Wigan.

As a player, I think we had him just past his prime but I did like him. Nobody could've followed Friedel.

Good player for us, didn't mind him going to Burnley but I'll never forgive him for singing "Championies" when asked if his alliegance had changed, massive part of that promotion and premiership survival weren't you Robbo mate.

just a good pro.

Despite his move to the Dingles, I still have a lot of time for Robbo.

He did well for us and as others have said refused to let K**n stop him from clapping the fans.

Enjoy retirement Robbo.

Thanks Robbo, enjoy life after football!

Hi Robbo!

[tomphil]

Was good whilst he was here and I think it's fair to say the back problem played a part in taking the edge of his game. Shouldn't have been bombed out of Rovers and replaced by Steele that was a poor move by all concerned but it was probably finance driven partly.

Went the dark side and blotted his copybook with Rovers really but he's that type of guy, 100% for the club he's at and like I said Rovers bombed him out and I think that hurt him and Dingles and their wise gaffer spotted he still had something to offer and gave him a chance.

Happy retirement Robbo, well deserved.

Thanks for publicly standing up to that bald, venomous cretin, Paul.

Yes - 26 thousand in the stadium and a chicken on the pitch.

His antics at Wigan away will live long in the memory, looking for signal to go forward for late min corner at 3-2 down and Kean ignores him so charges fwd anyway. Diving header amongst the boots, cut head and wins pen to make it 3 - 3 then barges past Kean again at the final whistle when he's trying to send the players off and take the applause himself mistakenly think the Rao brothers are still in the stadium

Highlighted 2 things really well that day, what a trooper Robinson was and what a scrote Kean was.

As he should have. I remember grant Hanley being asked if he'd ever join Burnley. Bet he would right now !

Peter Whittingham played for Burnley, he's certainly had his fair share of loving already.

Not bad for a fat lad.

See you on the FL League show Robbo.

Best of luck to Robbo. Did us no harm and knew what was right and wrong within the context of his employment.
