John Robinson (Australian rules footballer)

[7] He married Jean Hawthorne Hutchinson (1899-1990) on 25 July 1923;[8] they had a daughter, Judith MacRae, née Robinson.

His studies were suspended due to his war service; and he eventually graduated Bachelor of Arts (in absentia) in 1921.

[13] A fine athlete, he competed in the high jump and 120 yards hurdles for Caulfield Grammar, in the team (which included Dick Gibbs)[14] that won the 1911 Schools Amateur Athletic Association championships.

[19] The University team withdrew from the VFL competition prior to the 1915 season; and, although he might have been given an automatic clearance to transfer from University to Melbourne, his enlistment meant that he was unable to play any more football at that time.

[25][26] Robinson enlisted in the Army Reserve in March 1942, at the age of 51, and served until late 1945.
