Three years. This is the time that has passed since Michael Robinson passed away on April 28, 2020 at the age of 61. A piece of news that shocked public opinion and especially the world of sports journalism, which was filled with emotional messages towards the former soccer player and his family.
Cancer was the cause that ended the life of this renowned soccer player and sports commentator who made his voice and accent an incomparable mark of identity. Therefore, despite the time that has passed, his legacy has not been forgotten. On the contrary.
Proof of this is the message published by Carlos Martínez, his great partner in the locution of parties, who has indicated through a publication on Twitter that "time passes and its emptiness is becoming a full space, nourished by the memory of his jokes, his gestures, his smile.
A speech accompanied by a series of photographs in which they can be observed at different stages of their lives, different narratives, different parties. And they were not few, since Robinson's career as a sports commentator was almost broader than professional.
Born in Leicester on July 12, 1958, Michael Robinson made his debut at Prestyon North End, then his career continued with Manchester City, Brighton, Liverpool, Queens Park Rangers and Osasuna until he retired in 1989. He became international and played 24 official matches with the Ireland team, although he only achieved title glory with the Liverpool of his loves, with whom he won the League, the FA Cup and the Champions League in 1984.
A few months after hanging up his boots after a bittersweet farewell to Osasuna, Michael Robinson wanted to continue to be linked to football through sports journalism. He started behind a microphone on Televisión Española, where he began commenting on the Premier League matches and then the 1990 World Cup in Italy. After the international event, he signed for Canal España to contribute his technical vision and English humor in the La Liga narrations along with Carlos Martínez and collaborate in other programs such as El día después.
