macbeth Posted 29 June 2006 Posted 29 June 2006 Brits abroad -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Robinson Every Monday night at eight o'clock, Spanish football fans make a date with England's greatest export. Forget David Beckham and Michael Owen, the man who most tickles Spanish fancy is Michael Robinson. The Leicester-born Ireland striker, who led the line for Brighton, Liverpool and QPR in the Eighties, may wince as he recalls his seven trips to Wembley without a victory - 'I was watching a quiz once, the question came up and I was trying to guess the answer, thinking of some poor bastard slitting his wrists, and it was me!' - but in Spain he has been an unqualified success. Not so much on the pitch, where he played for Osasuna, but in front of camera
