Ronnie Robinson didn't set the world on fire in his 2 years at Leeds,
and when Bobby McDonald was signed to take the left back slot, Robinson
was released. At a slightly lower level he prospered, playing nearly 300
league games for 9 different clubs.
Mike Forster says: Known as Rambo during his time at Leeds due to
his impressive physic. Unfortunately he prefered to use his physical
atributes to impress in the public toilets and not on the football
pitch (allegedly!).
David Womack says: I met Ronnie Robinson while he was playing for
Rotherham United. I became firm friends with this man and we had many
a saturday night out after matches in the watering holes of
Doncaster. Always one for the ladies, with his looks we always
attracted attention, and many a time got into some kind of situation,
which can be laughed at now. I have many fond memories of Ronnie, but
sadly due to moving lost touch.... Would be great if i could again
have a laugh with him! I always felt anger at the hurtful allegations
of him exposing himself, and can only say, that with a tool like that,
if i was him, i'd expose myself too! I was never happy woth those
stories floating round, and at times had many a beer over what the
allegations were doing to him. I glad he has got on with life and
proved the man he is.... ! further, if ronnie can be given my e mail
address to contact me, i would be grateful
Alan Tonge says: Ronnie was one of the funniest lads i have ever
met. He always had the lads falling about with his impressions and
wisecracks. One story he told me was a cracker. He was in a sauna at
one of his clubs, when an African player the club had signed came in
and sat down. Ronnie was roasting at this time and sweating cobbs! The
African lad said to Ronnie, "this is not hot, this is average
heat". Ronnie came out, and while the African lad was still in, threw
a bucket of water of the hot coals and shut the door tight. He said
the African lad slid down the walls, cause it was that hot. The
punchline is the African lad went straight to see the gaffer and said
"Ronnie Robinson just tried to kill me!!!!!
