And also since when did thailand start doing snides of our retro shirts ? (Now, if they did our current one for £15 that might be another matter ! )

He got me banned from the White Horse at Rottingdean for a whole week.

Well it wan't all his fault I did actually spray the bar with a fire extinguisher however he did take it off the wall

I'm sure a loss of sales i nthe shape of a white wine spritzer or two did not ruin the business.

To true, used the Plough instead now that was nightly frequented by quite a few players at the time.

Goodbye to you Michael Robinson
Why Liverpool paid so much we'll never know
Those dodgy knees Michael Robinson
We'd just wind you up and watch you go

Why did you pass to Gordon on the Wembley afternoon
We think you should have scored the third yourself
Look around you, all you saw were unsympathetic eyes
Stroll around the ground until we lost again

Goodbye to you Michael Robinson
Somewhat overrated at Manchester
One hundred per cent Michael Robinson
All the same you were a great trier

Running into spaces where no balls would ever go
Can't blame you for joining Liverpool
It's a little secret, you scored just over forty goals
Most of all you passed in the last min

Good bye to you Michael Robinson
At least you did rid us of Ted Maybank
To Osasuuna Michael Robinson
Not even good enough for QPR

Standing on a terrace on a Saturday afternoon
Hoping you'd be playing today, yeah
Laugh about him, shout about him
Then he'd go and score
Every time you didn't play we'd lose

Where have you gone Michael Robinson
A terrace turned its incredulous eyes to you
What's that you say Michael Robinson
The ankles have finally given way......

Brilliant.

Slightly off topic, how many goals did Pete Word score for us in the late 70s, apparently it was loads. And also that Gerry Nielson in the late 80s, he sounded quality.

You've forgotten Booby Zamara

You've forgotten Booby Zamara

Oh yeah, how could I forget him. Almost as good as Jimmy Bryn - his partnership with Mick Smell was legendary.

I was in London in October 1983 and took my wife to be to see Michael Robinson playing for Liverpool at West Ham. We stood on the North Bank and I was cheering for him as he scored a hat trick - his first goals for the Reds. How I didn't get a pasting - must have been the fact I was with the other half - we were even offered mints by the Hammers fans.

In October 1983, Michael Robinson bagged a hat-trick, his first League goals for the reds, as we won 3-1, despite Craig Johnston being sent off just after the hour mark. Billy Bonds made his 700th West Ham appearance in this game, as we closed the gap on the second-placed Hammers to two points.

I'm glad I read the whole thread, because I thought i'd missed somebody in my 1980s drunken phase.

Michael Robinson turned up a couple of times in Buckly Close which is in the very arse end of Hangleton. I used to play football with the kids around there and it was him without doubt this was circa 1982 . I remember because we used to re-enact World Cup matches (none of us had ever seen World cup match before) There were a couple of ladies around there at that time offering 'large chests for sale' apparently. He told one kid to mind his own when he enquired as to why an International Footballer would rock up in Buckley Close on a Monday afternoon.
