News Geoff Robinson - time to help out

[Doogie]

I work with one of Robbo's family members and, with the family members permission, thought I would share this.

“To all the Canterbury Bulldogs or sporting fans in general, Geoff Robinson is currently battling Cancer and the Robinson family are encouraging fans to send messages to give him the extra support to help him keep fighting. Geoff was always a fan favourite and loved getting involved in the community. If you wish to send him a message please do so on geoff.robbo1@outlook.com. Have a great day.”

I'd encourage everyone to send him a message to let him know he will always be part of the B&W family and that we're all there with him as he fights the big fight.

The first home game of next season the club should sell Robbo wigs with all proceeds to go to his cancer treatment. The players should run out in them too

Awesome idea.

One of my all-time favourites. I hope our community can come together to honour and support this club legend.

Also have sent mine, at some point more than 20 years ago my old man used to unload him at ICI chemicals in Cheso/Villawood i shed a little tear writing and thinking about this and how highly my dad rated this bloke.

what a legend. email sent !

makes me sad as growing up and playing footy in the backyard I always wanted to be "Robbo".

 

[B-Train]

Awesome idea.

Someone should suggest it to Gus on Twitter. It'd be a great way to support Robbo and to also show all of these new recruits how we look after our club legends.

For those too young to have been on the Belmore hill during the Robbo years it is difficult to explain how his running impacted the crowd. Whether it was in third grade, reserve grade or first grade - his super aggressive running lifted the crowd like no other player since - the hair the aggression opposition defenders flying in all directions and the fact he was a local - there have been plent of better players since but none have had that intensity of fan connection

 

[Yougra]

Yep, we all had our favourite players but I think it's safe to say, every Bulldogs fan loved "Robbo"

i remember seeing him sinking piss at the upstairs disco at the leagues club on a friday night

Not on twitter - do we have a volunteer? Its a great idea.

I reckon it will be better to sell long black hair wigs for fans to wear...
Hell I could do with one now most of my hair all disappeared

Ahh johnies, I personally poured a few white heathers to bullfrog in my time.
Hang in there robbo!

Robbo's playing style and toughness is what lured my dad to be a bulldog fanatic (he also copied his hair do lol ), which then rubbed off on me when i was a kid, so it's basically due to geoff that my family are bulldog tragics. My dad has since passed on a few years ago but I know he will be looking down on ya robbo. All the best champion and fight till the end.

Too young myself but my dad used to talk about robbo all the time growing up would’ve loved to see him and all the other legends play back in the day

A tougher bugger you never meet. Was never the biggest but was tough as a rock.taught me life lessons on determination and toughness not only for football but also for life at times. Battle on like in his career and smash it

I think this was pre johnies, had some terrible band that played the same songs each week

 

[Snowmann]

Still one the most awe-inspiring plays was when he basically knocked out Sterlo when they tried "the wall". Hahaha
