Christy Robinson
Christopher "Christy" Robinson (1902 – 21 February 1954)[1] was an Irish soccer player during the 1920s and 1930s.[2]
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.[3]
At international level, he was part of Ireland's squad at the Paris Olympic Games of 1924, but he did not play in any matches.[4]
He was the brother of fellow Bohemian Jeremiah[5]
