Andy Robinson (footballer, born 1979)

Andrew Mark Robinson (born 3 November 1979) is an English footballer who plays for Rock Ferry Social.

Robinson's professional career began in 2002 at Tranmere Rovers and concluded in 2015 after a short stint at Shrewsbury Town.

Robinson began his football career playing for non-League Merseyside team Cammell Laird before being recruited by Tranmere Rovers on 1 December 2002.

Rovers overlooked his potential however and soon released him, allowing Swansea City to snap him up; initially on a three-month trial then on a permanent basis.

He came on as a first-half substitute for Neil Kilkenny in the playoff semi final loss against Millwall, and ended the season with six goals in all competitions.

He made his debut for the club during a 3–0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion on 27 March but was sent-off for foul play.

On 14 May 2010, after returning from his loan at Tranmere Rovers, Robinson was advised by manager Simon Grayson to search for a new club and placed on the transfer list.
