Biographical Text

Transferred to Doncaster Rovers in February 1987 for £5,000, he added a further 80 league games and five goals. His next stop was at West Bromwich Albion whom he joined in March 1989 for £80,000.
It proved to be stay of just five months during which time he only made one league appearance, before moving to Rotherham United for £40,000.
After over two years with the Millmoor outfit, and totalling 86 league appearances and two goals, Robinson signed for Peterborough United on a free transfer in December 1991.
In July 1993 after a further 47 league matches, Robinson moved to Exeter City for a reported fee of £25,000, making his first league start for the club in a 2-1 defeat at Brentford on the opening day of the season.
