Robert Middleby (born August 9, 1975 in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia) is an Australian football (soccer) player who currently plays as a midfielder for Sydney FC in the A-League.
The former NSL journeyman came to Sydney FC after earlier stints at Newcastle United Jets, Wollongong Wolves (twice), Carlton, Football Kingz and the Newcastle Breakers. He won an NSL title with the Wolves and also spent time overseas with German outfit Eintracht Trier. Middleby was used primarily as an impact player for Sydney FC in his first season at the club, starting just twice in his 16 appearances.
In season two, Robbie Middleby was a controversial figure in the mix of many incidents that have been cited off being "unfair sportsmanship". The most noticeable occured in round two, Middleby received a broken collarbone in a shoulder charge off the ball from Adrian Leijer at a corner, but no charge was laid out against Leijer despite the severity of the injury.
Despite the injury set back, Middleby still surprisingly won the clubs' Players' Player of the Year award (The top award a Sydney FC player can receive), finishing with a total of 19 votes. [1]
