Career

Robb started his career in 2001 as a youth team player with Dundee, going on to make over 80 league appearances with a short loan spell with Raith Rovers. At the end of the 2004–2005 season in which Dundee were relegated to the Scottish First Division, Robb decided to stay with Dundee but after failure to gain promotion Robb left the Dees for Dundee's rivals Dundee United in June 2006 on a free transfer. He scored his first and only goal for United in 1-1 draw with Motherwell on 10 March 2007.[1] Robb was told he would be released from Tannadice at the end of the 2007–08 season,[2] with the winger subsequently agreeing a move to St Mirren at the start of the summer transfer window.[3] Robb scored his first goal on his debut in the 7–0 victory over Dumbarton in the League Cup.[4] He scored his first league goal for the club in a 2-1 defeat to Aberdeen in March 2010.[5]

After being released by St Mirren, Robb took a chance moving to Thai side Thai Port.[6]

At the start of the 2013–14 season, Robb returned to Scotland and signed for Brechin City.[7] He scored his first and only goal for Brechin in a 2-1 loss to Rangers.[8]

At the beginning of the 2014–15 season Robb put pen to paper with Montrose.[9] He retired at the end of that season and moved into business with a clothing company alongside fellow retired player Mark Corcoran, taking advantage of personal contacts made in his football career and in the fabric industry in Thailand.[10]

gollark: Datacentre-grade ones manage *petabytes* in total.
gollark: "equal to 390GB per day for 5 years"
gollark: Crucial's 1TB BX500, a well-known drive I've not-very-randomly picked, is rated for 360TB total writes.
gollark: So basically rewriting a tenth of the drive's capacity per day. They list this in the specs. As I said, it's generally more, and measured over 3-5 years generally.
gollark: 0.1 DWPD for a 1TB drive would be 100GB/day.
