[edit] Playing career
Robins played a very important part in winning the FA Cup for Manchester United in 1990 which was the first trophy of manager Alex Ferguson's reign at the club.He scored the winner in the third round tie at Nottingham Forest (it has always been speculated that Ferguson would have been sacked had United lost the game),and also scored the winning goal in the semi-final replay against Oldham Athletic.He left Old Trafford for Norwich City for a fee of £800,000 where he played an important role in some of the club's greatest successes. In his first game his two goals helped Norwich defeat Arsenal at Highbury on the opening day of the first ever Premier League season. He helped them qualify for the UEFA Cup at the end of the 1992-93 season, in which Norwich finished third. His 1993-94 season was interrupted by a serious injury, and coincided with a slump in form for Norwich, who finished 12th after spending most of the first half of the season in the top five.
In 1994-95, after falling out with Norwich manager John Deehan, he was sold to Leicester City, but was unable to prevent them from being relegated to Division One (ironically along with Norwich). He did, however, help them win promotion back to the Premier League via the playoffs in 1995-96, and win the Coca-Cola Cup in 1996-97, when they finished ninth in the Premier League.
Robins later played for F.C. Copenhagen, Reading F.C., CD Ourense, Panionios, Manchester City, Walsall, Rotherham United, Bristol City,[1] Sheffield Wednesday and Burton Albion.

[edit] Managerial career
Robins joined Rotherham United in June 2000 as a player and subsequently as assistant manager,[2] under manager Alan Knill. However, by the end of February 2007, the Millers sat 13 points adrift of safety, making the threat of relegation almost inevitable. This resulted in Knill being sacked on March 1, with Robins becoming caretaker manager.[3] After a spell of three wins in six games while in charge as caretaker manager, and moving the club off the bottom of League One,[4] Robins' position was made permanent on 6 April 2007.[5]
