The former Brighton and Liverpool striker Michael Robinson, who finished his career at Osasuna and then settled in Spain, has died aged 61.
Robinson’s family used his social media account to write: “With tremendous sadness we inform you of Michael’s death. It leaves us with a great emptiness but also countless memories full of the same love that you have shown him.
Robinson was part of the Liverpool squad who won a league, League Cup and European Cup treble in 1984 and played in the 1983 FA Cup final for Brighton. He won 24 Republic of Ireland caps.
He had an award-winning broadcasting career in Spain after retiring as a player and Barcelona paid tribute in a tweet that described him as “a person who loved football and who knew how to explain it with knowledge and ingenuity”.
