George Robinson was educated at Preston Catholic College in Lancashire before going up to Pembroke College, Oxford.Wisden 1972, p. 353. A wicketkeeper-batsman, he played several useful innings for Oxford in the 1971 season, at first in the middle order and then later as an opener, partnering Keith Jones.
