Football career

After starting out with local UD Las Palmas, playing mainly in Segunda División B, 20-year old Robaina signed with CD Tenerife also in the Canary Islands, immediately having an impact in La Liga, appearing in 39 games (25 starts, one goal) as the club finished fifth and qualified to the UEFA Cup, also appearing regularly as his team reached the latter competition's semifinals.

After another average season, he gradually fell out of favour with Tenerife and, in the 1999 January transfer window, returned to Las Palmas, in the first of a series of loans. Robaina spent one season in Portugal with Sporting Clube de Portugal, playing no part whatsoever in the Lisbon club's national championship conquest (three games, 10 minutes). In the following year, he played with another team in his native region, Universidad de Las Palmas CF, suffering relegation from Segunda División, and being subsequently released by his main club, for which he appeared in nearly 150 official games.

From the age of 27 until his retirement eight years later, Robaina played almost exclusively in the third level of Spanish football, with one-year spells in the fourth and in regional football, with the majority of the clubs hailing from the Canary Islands.
