[Brighton] RIP Michael Robinson

[SuperFurrySeagull]

Very sad day, very sad news. Yep, he was one of my firm favourites in the very early years of my following the Albion. RIP & thank you, Michael Robinson.

 

[NorthLainer]

Desperately sad news. Remember his goal in that semi-final against Sheff Weds. Albion great. RIP.

 

[Seagull over Canaryland]

RIP.

Gave his all on the pitch and such a nice guy too.

Great to read just how popular he is in Spain.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Really sad to hear. He was the flair man for me. I loved him up front and wished he'd stayed longer with us. He was truly love din Spain... one of the few ex-Brighton players that Spanish people knew then.

RIP... Albion legend.

 

[Miami Seagull]

One of the true greats of my generation to represent the club. So many great memories of him. He never gave up and always, always gave 100%. R.I.P Michael and thanks for the memories.

 

[AmexRuislip]

I was actually at this game with my QPR mate
18min 15 sec in

 

[Baker lite]

Will never forget the winner in the Highbury semi final.
Very sad news .
RIP Michael.

 

[TottonSeagull]

Probably the best out and out centre forward that I have seen playing for the Albion.

RIP Michael, thanks for the memories.

 

[Mayonaise]

OMG only 61 this is terribly sad news. RIP Michael you were a massive part of our history and will never be forgotten.

 

[Lenny Rider]

Sad day for the Albion, the goal that sticks in my mind is his winner at White Hart Lane in October 1981, when we humbled the mighty Spurs 1-0.

RIP Robbo.

Arguably, and certainly not fishing here, his strike partnership with Andy Ritchie in 81-82, ability wise was far better than everyone's fantasy pairing of Zamora and Ward.

 

[clockend1983]

Just seen this
RIP Micheal and thanks for the great memories

 

[Albion Dan]

Gutting news. Our centre forward in my first ever Albion game attended. Very sad how young he was. Always came across as a top bloke.

 

[Palacefinder General]

What a guy, what a life, what an inspiration. RIP Micheal. Gone too young.

 

[Algernon]

Terrible news.
R.I.P. Michael Robinson.
BHAFC legend, BHAFC family forever.

 

[Brownstuff]

Don't think saw him in the flesh as was a bit young
However he was still one of my favourite players, a proper Roy of the Rovers striker
I always think of him when I see an old British Caledonian shirt
Nice tribute from Lawrenson mentioning that Robinson bought his old house from him in Hove
Lovely smile too

 

[NEASTGULL]

Sad news indeed - R.I.P Michael

 

[*Gullsworth*]

Deeply shocked by this, only just heard. I loved watching Michael Robinson play, he played his heart out every game. My abiding memory of him will always be him puffing his cheeks out and running like the wind to win the ball. A gentleman, fair player and lovely man.

R.I.P big man.

 

[kemptown kid]

Top player, top bloke. RIP.

 

[FIVESTEPS]

F A cup fifth round 1983,can still picture Michael rampaging around giving there back four including Mark Lawrenson a hard time.Having lost my wife recently its brought back the tears,what a shit year.

 

[Robinjakarta]

Never gave up and did his best 100% every game, which is something some of today's players could learn from. Added to that, he had pace, no little skill and could shoot and head the ball. I saw him play many times. Just what we could do with now. RIP Michael Robinson, Albion legend.
