Tdansmith started chatting daft stuff that he was reading on twitter and then misunderstood me advising him to leave twitter as me advising him to leave here, and promptly left. Hasn't posted since. :lol:

I read that earlier. Never realised the records Robledo held. First South American in the English league & the most goals by an overseas player, which stood for 50 years.

Just reading through his wiki page- his brother Ted, who played alongside him here , died in 1970 falling overboard from an oil tanker off the coast of Dubai, his body never being recovered! 
 

Fuck me, further reading says he was likely murdered!…

Robledo’s daughter at the Back Page, saying her dad loved his time here. 

Bobby Mitchell, Tommy Walker, Charlie Crowe, George Robledo and Jackie Milburn.
