Christy Robinson

Christopher "Christy" Robinson[1] was an Irish soccer player during the 1920s and 1930s.

Robinson was a skilful inside forward during this era in the League of Ireland and was part of the All-Conquering Bohemians team of 1927/28 who won every trophy on offer that season - League of Ireland, FAI Cup, Shield and Leinster Senior Cup. He holds the honour of scoring Bohemians' first ever goal in the FAI Cup when he netted the first in a 7-1 win over Athlone Town on 28 January 1922.[2]

At international level, he represented Ireland in the Paris Olympic Games of 1924.

He was the brother of fellow Bohemian Jeremiah[3]
