Gilbert Robinson

Gilbert Robinson (born c. 1909 – death unknown) was a professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1920s and 1930s.

He played fullback in Wakefield Trinity's 0–8 defeat by Leeds in the 1932 Yorkshire Cup Final during the 1932–33 season at Fartown Ground, Huddersfield on Saturday 19 November 1932.

[6] In April 1940, Robinson was charged with burglary and sentenced to two years imprisonment.

The detective sergeant at the quarter sessions stated that after Robinson returned from the Tour in Australia, "he began gambling, drinking, and associating with thieves and other undesirable persons, with the result that he could not be relied upon, and the football clubs lost interest in him".
