“Andy is currently in a stable condition in hospital.
“We’re all with you Robbo”.

As well as representing Leeds and Swansea, Robinson played for Tranmere, Ammanford, Stockport and Shrewsbury, before retiring in 2021.
Robinson got his big break into professional football in 2003, when he was offered a trial by then Swansea boss Brian Flynn after impressing at an amateur side in his home town of Birkenhead.
Across his career Robinson won the EFL Trophy and a League One title with the Swans.
While he is remembered fondly by Swansea fans as the last player to ever score at iconic stadium Vetch Field, netting the winning goal in the FAW Premier Cup final against Wrexham in 2005.
