One of my very first true heroes, remember being gutted when he left. RIP Robbo.

 

[Dirty Harry]

Brings back some good memories of a great era for me watching PNE. RIP Michael.

 

[cpnend]

Blimey, 61 that’s no age. RIP Robbo

 

[lasherbasher]

Far too young to pass away But he has known for sometime that his cancer was terminal. I remember his bustling attacking style but he also made his name as a fluent Spanish commentator on Spanish TV. He played over there before moving into commentating and was very popular. RIP

Fucking hell, one of my very 1st PNE heroes along with Ricky Thompson.

I remember, in the LEP, Robbo saying that one day, he'd come back to manage PNE.

Awful news and I am saddened by this. 🙁

R.I.P. Robbo x

Dreadful news. Thank you and RIP Michael.

What a shame, 61 is no age at all.

Just slightly before my time, just about remember him.

RIP Michael.

[Adelaide-white]

Sad news, even made the headlines here in Australia. R-I-P

 

[Dirty Harry]

An abiding memory for me of Michael was the Brighton v Man utd cup final, willing him on to finish that chance when he was clean through before he unselfishly squared it to a better places Gordon Smith.
Remember the famous 'and Smith must score...? You can watch it here.

RIP. Shame Sky have kind have spoilt it slightly. Apparently he only played for Liverpool, never mind that he played 3 times more games for Brighton , more games for pne and Osasuna but apparently he only played for Liverpool.

Only thing i know about Michael was that there was a popular figure who was English on Spanish TV and he was a Nobber. Anything else i knew about him was on here and only nice things have ever been said about him.

This is very sad. Michael Robinson was a superb player - robust, fast, skilful. He was very obviously also a talented and characterful individual off the field. RIP.

RIP Robbo.

Probably my second favourite centre forward behind Alex Dawson.

Robinson had everything in his locker and was forming a brilliant partnership with Ricky Thompson until Ricky suffered a career ending injury. That partnership could have been the best PNE have had and we’ve had some good ones.

Just found this in the English language version of Spanish newspaper El Pais - it is well worth reading:

Legendary British soccer commentator Michael Robinson dies of cancer aged 61

The broadcaster and former player, who revolutionized sports commentary in Spain in the 1990s, passed away on Monday in his home in Marbella
