Retiring at the end of the season.

 

If ever there was a footballer who robbed a living it was him.

Wasn’t a massive fan of his but he always gave us 100%, would run through a brick wall for our shirt and the other players buzzed off him.

 

My take on him is different to Fred’s - he made the very most of very limited ability by desire and graft to maximise what he could do. Much to be admired there. Although v different, Beckham did similar.

 

I wish him all the best.

I liked him in all his snarling glory - seen plenty of worse full backs than Paul Robinson at the club.

 

700+ games is a hell of a career - particularly given the type of player he was.

His performance against a League 2 winger at Macclesfield in the Cup was one of the worst I have seen by a Bolton player.

Did he bag one against us after leaving us?

Didn’t mind him tbh

My main memory of him is his swan dive celebration after Holden's winner v Blackburn

Last day of the 14/15 season, he scored the winner for Brum.

 

As mentioned, we've had plenty worse. He was fine up until Stoke at Wembley but after that he became a bit shite.

You could apply that to the whole club tbf

Nothing against him at all.

Never shirked a tackle, always put a shift in.

Made the most of his limited ability.

 

Stu Holden speaks very highly of him and that'll do for me.

Hard worker, mostly gave 100%, occasionally dropped his head when being outclassed and too slow for the Premier League.He was a league above his natural level.Considering Megson signed him when we were a Premier League club with money to burn he was a poor signing who lowered the standard of the team

I didn't mind Robbo, always a 100% grafter and that's all you can ask. I don't think he was ever quite premier league class but if we'd had him in the championship, he would have been very decent - as his career has proven

Grafter yes.ability no. Z list English player. Had way too many of those last couple of prem years. Knight. Pratley.

Seconded. That desire you can't give to people you either have it or you don't. We've all seen many players with more talent but just never hit the level they should because they didn't have it.

 

Good luck to him in the future.

Fuck mop....We have had plenty who were MILES shitter than Robinson and worse still who took the clubs money without half of the commitment and grit this lad had.

Some folk would have you believe that season he was so shit was because he had Petrov in front of him.

Gave his all. Couldnt fault his desire or workrate

He’s have been better with Taylor ahead of him for sure

We all dream of team with Taylor wide left and Robinson at left back.

We’d over power teams with graft and commitment

Average player, outclassed in the premier league but gave everything he had for the club.

 

All the best Robbo.

This.

 

I remember him getting dog shit when he was near the away end after being ripped a new one.

Remember seeing him perform an overhead kick and thought... Wow

Robinson wouldn't even get in a Shittest XI Bolton players.

I'd say even working from after FSA left there's been plenty of full backs shitter than Robinson.

 

Cid and Mears spring to mind

Thats my thoughts well summed up
