Robinson stood out on the field with his long dark hair and bushy beard and was renowned for his devastating runs at the line.cite journal | author = Ben Blaschke | title = Legend Q&A | journal = Rugby League Week | issue =16 July 2008 |pages = pgs 22 | publisher = PBLMedia | location = Sydney, NSW | accessdate =2008-07-20 ]

Robinson is a member of Canterbury-Bankstown's 1980 Premiership winning team in their 18–4 win over Eastern Suburbs and their 1984 Premiership win over Parramatta (6–4).

In 1985–1986, Robinson played 30 games for Halifax RLFC in England before re-joining Canterbury in game 12 of the 1986 season.

After retiring from first-grade at the end of 1986, Robinson went on to coach the Canterbury U-23 side to a premiership in 1991. Robinson is still involved with the Chester Hill Rhinos, as coach, in the Jim Beam Cup.
