Not sure if there is already a thread on this (if so apologies mods) but for those of you who don't know, PNE legend Mick Robinson has been diagnosed with metastatic cancer: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sp...diagnosis.html

Sadly the prognosis does not look good, but those of a certain vintage like me who have fond memories of his playing days at PNE will know that Mick is nothing if not a fighter and will not give up easily. I hope you all will join with me in sending our love and best wishes to Mick and his family, for whom this terrible news must be all the more difficult at this time of the year.

Good luck Mick, we all stand with you and wish you a full and speedy recovery.

One of my all time favourite players to get £750.000 for him at that time as well was incredible . From reading about his cancer it does not sound good at all wish him all the best with his battle ahead. When are we going to beat this disgusting disease.
 
Very sad to hear that terrible news.

Hope he gets the best possible treatment and wins his fight.

PNE legend.
 
Sad news indeed, but we know he is a determined character and I'm sure we are all with him in his bid to fight this. He will be in our thoughts and prayers this Christmas, for sure.
 
Sad news, all the best to him, remember watching him for us, he used to go on long rampaging runs with the ball, defenders didn’t seem able to get the ball off him, and he scored some great goals, he was a bit like Hugill in build, but ten times better.
 
🙁

He was one of my first PNE idols.
Years later when I moved to Spain and watched their equivalent of Match of the day I was shocked ot see their equivalent of Gary Lineker was "El Robbo"

Legend as a player (also in Spain). Great broadcaster. Reliably told he's a great bloke by people ITK.
 
A player I remember well from my youth and enjoyed watching. Best wishes Mick for a full recovery. Hope he, his family and friends have the strength to get through the battle ahead.

Just bean reading He's got terminal cancer 60 years old. fight it mick like you used yo fight for PNE. local lad from dolphin home. all the best mick,
 
When we returned on the coaches to Preston Bus staition late at night from the 2nd leg play off at Port Vale, a gentleman approached me asking me how he could get to his car on the bus station car park as the the doors were locked on the bus station.
I said follow me and I will lead you to the car ramp and you can get to your car walking up the car park ramp.
On the way he said to me that his son used to play for Preston and that he had sent me to watch the game, and when he got home he had to phone him and give him a match report, as he still loved the football club.
That gentleman was Michael Robinson's dad, when he said that,my three mile walk home was on air.
I know he hates to be called Mick, so Michael thinking of you just like the night I met your dad, praying and hoping you get well soon to a full recovery.
