Playing career

Robinson grew up in Putney,[3] London and attended Granard Primary School and Elliott School.[4] As a very promising youth player Robinson had spells at Arsenal and Charlton but predominately trained and played for Fulham FC before injuries put a halt on his progression. After an attempt to resurrect his career at Tooting and Mitcham at 19 years of age more injury issues put a stop to any serious playing ambitions.[5]

Coaching career

Robinson joined AFC Wimbledon in 2004, two years after the club's formation. After success with one of the club's younger teams Robinson was given the task of restructuring Wimbledon's youth structure ready for full time professional football. On the 30th January 2021, following the sacking of Glyn Hodges after a run of 9 losses and 2 draws, Robinson was appointed interim manager. On 17 February 2021, AFC Wimbledon announced the appointment of Robinson on a permanent basis after an improvement in the team's form. The Dons only lost 7 of their remaining 21 league games.
