PROFILE
 Joe
Fagan brought Republic of Ireland international striker Michael Robinson to Anfield in the
summer of 1983. He was signed from Brighton & Hove Albion for 250,000 pounds, and in
his first season at the club Liverpool clinched their first treble!
Robinson certainly contributed as the third striker and at times Fagan experimented
with Kenny Dalglish just behind Robinson and Ian Rush. One of Robinson's personal
highlights of the 1983-84 season came when he scored a superb hat-trick at Upton Park in a
3-1 win at West Ham United.
Robinson also appeared in the first all-Merseyside final at Wembley when he came on
as substitute for Craig Johnston, but did not feature in the replay. He also appeared as a
substitute, this time for Kenny Dalglish, in the European Cup Final triumph over Roma in
Rome.
Frustrated by a lack of first team opportunities the following season Robinson
moved to Queens Park Rangers in December 1984, and fate decreed that he returned to
Anfield for the Milk Cup semi-final in 1986, which Rangers won on away goals. He left
Loftus Road in 1987 to join former Red team-mate Sammy Lee at Osasuna in Spain.
After retiring from the game Robinson is now a much respected pundit and
commentator for Spanish television. Total LFC club games/goals for Reserves
