A young player who has become our first choice goalie. Paul
played in the odd game in his first couple of years at the club -
coming on as a half-time sub at Old Trafford and having to pick the
ball out his net for his first touch (not that it was his
fault...). Nige managed a 100% record in 1999-2000, so Paul didn't
get a chance to show off his skills, and he was back-up at the
England U-21 level as well.
In 2000-01 Robbo really came into his own. When Nige picked up
an injury, Robinson came into the line up and produced some truly
outstanding performances that have leapfrogged him up the queue for
international honours both at U21 and eventually at full England
level. His incredible shot-stopping in some of the Champions League
games - notably against Barca at Elland Road - won him widespread
praise, and there was little he could do to stop Rivaldo's 94th
minute equaliser in a heroic rearguard action by Leeds. When Nige
returned to fitness, Robbo was back on the bench, but it was clear
that we've got a great keeper in the making here.
At the start of the 2002-03 season, Terry Venables was impressed
by Robinson's performances on the pre-season tour - which Nigel
Martyn declined to go on - and made him the starting keeper for
Leeds when the season got underway. He was called into the full
England squad - but didn't get a game - in the friendly against
Portugal in August and finally made his full debut in the game
against Australia at Upton Park.
He remained the man in possession at the back throughout
2002-03, and although he conceded 57 goals in the league, his
efforts could rarely be faulted as the team fell apart. There were
strong suggestions that he would move on in the summer, and
although Leeds agreed a fee with Villa, the player failed to agree
personal terms - and when the expected moves from Manchester United
and Arsenal failed to materialise, Robbo looked set to stay at
Leeds for another season. As for England, he might have missed his
best chance: David James was chosen as David Seaman's successor and
unless James suffers a loss of form or serious injury, Robbo's
chances of being first choice for Euro 2004 now look very slim.
A further opportunity to leave the club was turned down in
January 2004 when a move to Spurs was canned on deadline day over
an apparent failure to agree personal terms.
Andy Carr says: Paul has fought for this all his life good luck
to him and continue to show great determination.

ClaireBear! says: I have heard that Man U and Arsenal are
interested in Paul Robinson. I understand that they may pay you
more Paul, but please don't go. I would be so gutted. I just don't
know what I would do. Paul you are the best in England and why you
are not England's number one I will never know. I will sing for you
to make you stay (And my singing is something else, out of this
world you might say......lol). Come on Paul 'Marching on together'
We need you. Don't leave, and if you have to PLEASE DO NOT go to
Man U I would just die. Wishing you well. Lots of love ClaireBear

Roger Watson says: Paul Robinson is my uncle and he's wicked he
gives me his gloves after every game and he's just a genuine
guy!
soulboy_at_aol.com says: Paul is too much of a TART to get
married. On valentines day he took he girlfriend out, and spotted
another pretty girl at the bar. Told his bird he was going out with
the lads, put her in a taxi home and then ended up getting off with
this other girl. So poor becky if that is what she is
called!!!!!!!!!

Looby says: paul is the best goal keeper Leeds have had ( sorry

RoBo'S gIrL *~* says: Soulboy, I'm sorry but what you put was
waaaay out of order!!! Paul is always really sweet, after the
matches he is one of the few players who stays out and goes round
to meet every fan. Paul please please don't go. We all LOVE you to
pieces. Take care Sarah XxX
mike taylor says: robbo your the best thing to happen to leeds
and you come from my home town your the best thing to come from bev
stay with leeds and get that number 1 spot at england. i would kill
to be in your shoes i'm a keeper and support leeds so to me your
god.
chdeguwfc says: Paul Robinson should be England's number one
goalkeeper!I went to a Leeds match seated behind the goalposts. I
found that he is really fit and in wonderful shape!I really fancy
him.
RoBo'S gIrL~*~ says: Paul, please please please dont go.....not
back to O'Leary anyways......As ClaireBear says "Marching on
together" If you go we can all say bye bye to division 1 and to the
leeds football preformance. Please stay. Sarah XxX
Shane says: Come to VILLA!
Jay jay Rudette says: robbo is the best goalkeeper ive seen in a
long time and is my favourite player. he deserves to play for
england.
Ade says: Everyone needs to calm down - Leeds should NOT be
selling Robbo or Kewell or any other top talents - our league
performance was bad enough last season without losing our best
players prior to the next one! Keep hold of these talents, Leeds,
or you'll be flirting with relegation again sometime soon.
hank says: does ne1 actually know for certain if Paul is
engaged?im intrigued?!...
julie says: yeh, to becky getting married next year allegely,
baby on way

julie says: a daughter, well cool, good on you mate
Amy says: Just to let u all know, Robbo is a Dad to a girl named
Lucy May! Someone asked why he wasn't at the Elland Road kit launch
and that was the answer!
Max Harlow says: Leeds 2-2 Swindon, 24 Sept 2003: Chilavert,
Schmeichel & Poom eat your heart out! And I bet he'd do a mean
free kick, given half a chance. My England line-up: James, Mills,
Ferdinand, Woodgate, Bridge, Smith, Beckham, Gerrard, Sinclair,
Owen, ROBINSON!!! OK, maybe not... But good on him for having the
balls to risk it, and become the first Leeds keeper in history to
score (excluding OGs).
leeds fan says: Last night will live with me and every other
(leeds fans) for the rest of my life! Robbo ill neva 4get it u made

Smithys numba 1 fan says: i woz in a reataurant an i saw robbo
an his baby had bin sik all ova his trousers err
laura says: omg i just luv robbo soooooooo much since the first
time i saw him!! he has improved sooo much ova the years!! and the
goal agains swindon just put the icing on the cake - U R the
bomb!!!! so wot if leeds R at the bottom of the prem - if u turn
the table upside down we R at the top!!!!!!!!!! wahay!
Laura says: Me thinkz that Paul 'Englands no.1' Robbo Robinson
is fantabulous. Wat the hell does Sven c in James. Not puttin Robbo
in the numba 1 jersey is deprivin England of its talent! An England
team wivout our Robbo in goals is like fish wivout chips- BAD!
Toddy says: james is crap u r god! rememba tht!
Sarah says: ha ha like da comment bout turnin da table upside
down good 1 m8!
saz says: u are gorge robbo!!! ur way better than james!!! i luv
robbo!!!!
Rebecca says: Dont b so harsh about David James. Robinson is
still only 24 he has a lot of time to get to england no.1 James has
only got a few more years left till he retires.
Max Harlow says: Just wanted to say, comiserations to Robbo on
the dismissal yesterday - a penalty, a red card and a susepnsion is
far too harsh for just one mis-timed tackle, and I say the rules
should be changed. And if he's suspended (it would be the Old
Trafford match, wouldn't it?), that means he can't play for England
in the Portugal friendly. How can the FA justify so many
punishments for one unfortunate mistake? It's not even like he made
much contact. Bl@@dy jobsworths. Never mind, chin up, Robbo, we're
all right behind you!
Nat the Leeds Girl! says: Dude! He got sent off during
saturday's match against Middlesborough! I nearly pooped myself
when i saw that red card come out! What the HELL are we gonna do
without him! Personally i don't think that Scott Carson is quite
ready to play against Man United! Oh dear god, we are soooo
doomed!
andrew cochrane says: i am a newcastle united support but i am
huge Paul Robinson. I am goalkeeper myself and he is my role modal
as i think is one of the best young keepers britian has ever
produced thanx 4 given me this oppertuinty to say how good ov a
goalkeeper he is c ya l8r
Leeds lass says: Paul is getting married on 16-may-04 i fink!!!
Good luck in da future Paul(wherever u may b!!) p.s. thanx 4
autograph!!!x
hayley C. says: Congratulations to Paul on getting married. I
hope you're both very happy!! Oh well girls another one bites the
dust!!
Leeds fan 676 says: Just a message to say i went to Paul and
Rebecca's wedding, It was absolutely amazing! Lucy May looked so so
cute. It was on 17th May
jenny says: Good Luck at Tottenham...Leeds won't be the same
without you tho!!! :-(
lil says: leeds fan 676,did you see ian harte at the wedding?

Ryan Tomes says: paul robinson is the best goalkeeper ive ever
seen accept of course for David james who is my favorite
paul hebden says: i saw robbo in york centre over the may day
bank holiday and asked him to his face are you off to spurs and he
said no lying sod hope spurs get relegated leeds shd have stuck

Tom Canfield says: I reckon Paul is one of the best goalies in
the premiership
