I have said it before but I was having a drink with Robbie in Newton on the Sunday before that Llanelli game and he said he was giving up at the end of the season. Such a terrible shame for a really nice guy. Today's players aren't fit to lace his boots
 
Absolutely wonderful player, saw him play first for the Swansea schoolboys, you could tell at that early stage he was going to be special.
 
I remember one game in the 80's away at Gillingham, Robbie chased a long ball almost the length of the field towards us. Have to say he was never built for that but his passing game was top notch and often fowards.

Home Grown talent Robbie , Speedy , Charlo , Dean Saunders all Swansea lads , Leighton James from Gorseinon .

Will claim Curt as Swansea , although from Rhondda , Wyndham from Turkland and Dai Davies from Ammanford .

Pride in the shirt and roots were a big part of our rise through the Divisions , could do with a bit ot that now .
 
Someone should show this current mop of shite footage of Robbie so they can really see what it means to play for the shirt.
