("nothing in the match was more brilliant that the roving of A. Robinson, who last season played with the Melbourne Club")[7] ("Little Robinson, their rover, the old Scotch Collegian, played a very nice game, and was always effective")[8] He died at Ballarat on 21 March 1901,[9] after struggling with tuberculosis for several years.
