† Appearances (Goals).Marvin Leon St.Clair Robinson (born 11 April 1980 in Crewe) is a British professional footballer. He is currently playing for Hednesford Town in the Zamaretto League Premier
Career
He went to school at Wolverhampton Grammar School from 1991–1998 and whilst there represented England U18 schoolboys. He signed professional terms with Premier League Derby County in June 1998 and made his debut live on Sky against Arsenal at Highbury in April 1999. Later that year he made his full league debut against Manchester United in a 2-1 defeat.His progress was greatly hampered by a badly broken leg, suffered whilst on a productive loan at Stoke City in Sept 2000, which took him 18 months to recover from. In 2002 he came back to score vs Sunderland. He signed for Oxford Utd in Sept 2006 and rejoined his former Derby boss. However, having been given countless opportunities to prove himself at the U's, Big Marv was badly short of form and failed to make a positive impression at the club. In September 2007, Marvin went out on loan at Cambridge United.
On 14 October 2007 while on loan to Cambridge United, Robinson broke a leg and bruised his lungs in a car crash. As a result of this, his current club, Oxford United terminated his loan with Cambridge so he can recover at his own club.[1][2] To aide his recovery, Robinson began training with Kettering Town[3] and appeared for the club in a 5-1 Northants Hillier Senior Cup defeat at Daventry Town on 11 November 2008,[4] the Kettering goal coming courtesy of their Chairman Imraan Ladak. After a second, and final, appearance for the club in a 3-2 Setanta Shield defeat to A.F.C. Telford United on 20 January 2009[5] he joined Redditch United.[6] After making his debut for the club in 4-0 home defeat to Droylsden on 24 January 2009, he scored his first goal for the club in the following Saturday's game, a 2-1 victory at Hyde United.[7] He started the 2009-2010 season with Massey Ferguson, netting 13 goals in the Midland Combination Premier Division before signing for Northern Premier League side Nantwich Town in December 2009 on a free transfer.[8] He made a good start to life with the Dabbers with 9 goals in his first 9 league & cup games, finishing the season with a total of 11 goals
In October 2010, he joined Hednesford Town, making his debut for the Pitmen in the 2-1 FA Trophy defeat against Whitby Town at Keys Park on 16 October 2010.[9] On his second appearance for the Pitmen, he scored four goals in the club's record 9-0 win over Weymouth in October 2010
