    I remember a really good full back for TARN some years ago called Robinson (forgot his first name).
    Everybody were talking about him.
    I think Keegan eventually bought him for Newcastle.........from then............didn't hear another thing about him !!!

    What ever happened to that likely lad ???
    And could Stones go the same way.........i.e. lots of hype followed by obscurity.

    Mark Robinson was a decent winger who was turned into a decent full back, no more no less.

    Winner in penalty shoot out against Leicester (?). Looked like he was going to cry before he took it

    Went to newcastle for £500,000 and was injured not long after I think. Ended up at Swindon.
    Good player - scored a pen in a cup game I seem to remember and looked like he was shitting himself before he took it

    Mark Robinson...I thought he was the best FB I've seen at the club. Broke his leg....

    Mark Robinson (born November 21, 1968) is a footballer born in Rochdale, Lancashire. He is a former West Bromwich Albion F.C., Barnsley F.C., Newcastle United, Swindon Town and Chippenham Town F.C. full back.

    Robinson started his career with Midlands based outfit West Bromwich Albion F.C. where he made only 2 league outings before a move to Barnsley F.C.. Robinson played over 150 games for the Tykes before Kevin Keegan paid £450,000 to take the defender to Newcastle United in March 1993. Robinson helped the Magpies secure promotion to the Premier League later that season.

    In 1994 Mark Robinson was the unlucky player who suffered a broken leg in a horror tackle by a Hartlepool player, and Keegan said "we came to Hartlepool to help the club out financially, and we've ended up with a player fighting to save his career". Kevin Keegan also once said he would never return to Hartlepool's Victoria Park after a pre-season friendly went sadly wrong.

    He signed for a substantial amount by Keegan to bolster the defence, but was never the same player after the game at Hartlepool. He lost a lot of pace, which was his major strength.

    Robinson made only 16 appearances during Newcastle's return to the top flight and in the summer of 1994 Swindon Town paid £600,000 for his services.

    Robinson spent the rest of his career at the Wiltshire outfit playing 316 matches - scoring 4 times.

    After injuries plagued him during the 2001/2002 season Robinson retired from professional football and joined nearby Chippenham Town F.C..

    Wasn't one of many that uncle mel converted into a wing back? To be fair it did seem to work :)

    Are you sure that wasn't just Futch showing off his impressive skills on the ball.

    Thats him. Pretty sure he was 24-25 when we sold him to Newcastle in the mid 90's.

    he was only an average winger but turned into a more than decent full back.

    Re: I thought

    mark robinson was a very good player for us, but like many others since he left us and his career dipped... the latest could be Stones, you only have to look at ButterCup.

    That's right, decisive pen v Leicester and got flattened by his team mates, Owen Archdeacon scored a great 25 yarder to equalise an even better goal by Julian Joachim. Good game that. :)
