For those of us of a certain age the name of Neil Robinson will be remembered with many happy memories from the Tosh era and those halycon days where we were one of the best sides in the country.
It was therefore with sadness that I read on Twitter a short time ago of the passing of Neil at the age of just 65 from a Cardiac Arrest.
The thoughts of all the Swansea City family will be with Neil’s own loved ones at this time and we thank him for all the memories. Swansea City has lost a legend.
Been asked by John Robinson the brother of Swans legend Neil to share the devastating news that Neil died last night of cardiac arrest at just 65. A star of the film and one of the players I was proud to get to know and call a friend, this is devastating news. RIP Robbo x pic.twitter.com/AXW7cYWkTp
