Former Brighton and Hove Albion winger becoming train driver
Robinson went on to have a successful career in the Football League, before some prolific stints in non-league at Whitehawk and Billericay. He now plays at county level for Newhaven with his two brothers, Ian and Lee Robinson.
He added: “I’m very proud of my career, I wouldn’t change it for the world. All I ever wanted to do was be a professional footballer, I’m lucky I lived out that dream.”
His sights are now set on the railway rather than the back of the net.
“The more I looked into it, the more I thought it might suit me,” he said.
Asked whether he will be working on busy matchdays at Albion’s 32,000-seat Amex Stadium, he said: “It will be like the story is complete for me having trained there as a kid, and now my new career that’s going to hopefully last me the rest of my life. So it’s full circle.”
