Marvin Leon St.Clair Robinson (born 11 April 1980 in Crewe) is a British professional footballer. He is currently a free-agent following his release from Oxford United.
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 Utd 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 Derby's last goal in the Premier League to date 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]
