Am I thinking the right bloke here Marvin robinson? Loan from Derby? The bloke looked unbelievable! There was a foreign lad aswell who we had a barnstorming debut and I think he broke a leg or something? Andrade or something like that

Looked a world beater. Pretty sure we had him again after his injury and he was never the same player |

Always remember thinking that Marvin Robinson would have been some bloody player. He seemed to have everything in his locker |

Sorry lads n ladies I meant Marvin Robinson. I remember going straight in to ambulance to
Remember referring to him as "Marvellous" after the game. How ironic that word is now famous in stoke-on-trent

Yeah mate ....he also played at Vale Park Broke his leg v Rotherham and went straight into the ambulance parked by the Boothen Cheers bud. Always remember thinking that Marvin Robinson would have been some bloody player. He seemed to have everything in his locker He was some player. Wasn't he wearing a tag too? He was marvellous, strong, lithe, the sort of player who'd run through brick walls. I was so impressed with him. That leg break happened towards the Boothen end and I recall seeing him writhing in pain & his foot not moving. Horrific. |

Yeah he had a tag on didn't he, naughty lad him didn't he give his missus a wack or summit, he got my title of "best stoke player of 5 games or under"
He came back at Chesterfield or somewhere but I don't imagine he was the same

Jose Andrade (Zay Angola). That's him bud. Looked a world beater. Pretty sure we had him again after his injury and he was never the same player It was like night and day. His first stint was awesome then he got injured and in his second stint he look like a different person. |

That's what I can remember mate, think the injury finished him I remember the game when andrade/angola bust his leg. Swindon away. Was in the seats, made a pretty loud CRACK. Nasty. Also remember marvin robinson looking sharp. |

Guy Branston did Marvin Robinson. Remember his mum coming onto the pitch to comfort him? As for the guy above who said Angola came back a different player, you're not wrong. He broke his leg as Zay Angola and came back as Jose Andrade :-) |

Marvin is still around, plays currently for Hednesford, which is his 19th (!) club
Since the leg break match, he has played a further 197 games and scored 39 goals so not exactly "finished"
I though he collided with the Rotherham keeper when he broke his leg ?

Didn't the Rotherham player get shown a 'second yellow'then a red card earlier in the game, but the referee realised he had in fact only shown one yellow after Rotherham protested?
5 minutes later and he goes and breaks Robinson's leg.... And still doesn't get sent off!
I was only young then, so I may remember it wrong; but I wish there were videos of that team to show when anybody labels a modern top flight team dirty.
