Liverpool have had so many great players over the years and perhaps Robinson wasn't the best and played for just one season for Liverpool. But what a season - league title and European Cup.

I suspect his later career as a pundit and commentator in Spain is probably unknown to most people until now. Not many British born footballers who'd be able to cut it as a as successful media presenter in a foreign language.
