Bill Robinson (born April 4, 1919 in Whitburn, Scotland, died October 7, 1992) was a professional footballer who played as a centre forward for Sunderland, Charlton Athletic and West Ham United.[1]
Robinson played for West Ham between 1949 and 1952. He joined from Charlton – where he had scored 16 goals in 51 appearances and won the FA Cup in 1947 – for £7,000. A week after signing for West Ham, Robinson scored on his debut, a 1-2 away win against West Bromwich Albion on 15 January 1949. He went on to make 105 appearances for the Upton Park club, and score 61 goals.
He later returned to Charlton to join the coaching staff, and was promoted to assistant manager in November 1957. After two years, he left to become manager of Hartlepool. He was succeeded by Allenby Chilton in 1962.[2]
