Leicester born Bert Robinson was a right-handed batsman who bowled right arm at brisk medium pace and played on and off for Northamptonshire either side of the Second World War, making his debut for the County in 1937. He played 24 matches for Northamptonshire, making his final appearance in 1946, and with the bat he averaged 6.68 with a highest score of 32. His bowling yielded 35 wicketsat an average of 41.82 with a best performance of 5-37, his only five wicket haul.
He will be best remembered, however, as the long-serving cricket coach at Radley College in Oxfordshire. His official role stretched from 1949, when Ted Dexter was one of his early charges, to his retirement in 1982, but – encouraged by the college warden and future chairman of the TCCB, Dennis Silk – he retained an unofficial coaching role for nearly three decades thereafter, and was credited with shaping the development of such young talent as Jamie Dalrymple, Robin Martin-Jenkins, Ben Hutton, and Andrew Strauss. “You could see there was something a little bit better about him, but he didn’t stand out all that much,” Robinson said of Strauss in 2007. “He was one of those boys who responded well.”
Robinson lived to 92 before he passed away in 2009.
