Geoff Robinson, Bulldogs legend, dies at the age of 66

Football legend Geoff Robinson has tragically passed away at the age of 66.

Robinson played 139 first division games for the Bulldogs from 1977 to 1984, returning to the team in 1986.

After a long battle with throat cancer, he is believed to have died of a heart attack.

Robinson was known as ‘the wild man’ and was recognisable on the field by his trademark shoulder-length black hair.

“Geoff was a very decent and loyal man and he was my friend,” said Arthur Laundy, Robinson’s mate and Bulldogs sponsor.

‘Everyone loved ‘Robbo’. They loved the way he played football.’

Former Bulldogs Paul Langmack said: ‘He taught me so much.’

This is a breaking story. More to come.
