| Jabba's Comments |
After being rejected by Villa and having a short spell with
Carlisle, David Robinson must have been hoping for a better time at
Leeds, but he only played 5 games for the club. His move to
Southend finally saw things go right for him: with over 300 games
for United, he became a firm favorite with the fans, and stayed on
as groundsman at Roots Hall when he retired.
Robbo (Pete) says: As this man's grandson and living in
Southend, I can vouch for this. Regrettably he died in 1986 aged
86. The family are very proud of 'Robbo' and have various
memorabilia from his time as a Pro. He joined SUFC from Leeds in
1928 and played 317 games until forced to hang up his boots due to
injury in 1940. His sister is still very much alive and living in
Carlisle.
