Wiki says he didn't leave Burnley until 1997
so got be after that hasn't it ?

I don’t think it was 1997. I can’t see our son coming on holiday with us at 17 years of age. !!! I thought it would be earlier, somehow. Does the club have a statician who keeps a record of every game the club has played ? Something tells me it was a pre season friendly , but I may be wrong.

Chelston is most probably correct. We didn't play any friendlies against Burnley during Robinson's time at the club and he did move to Scarborough in 1997.

Torquay played Scarborough in a league match in Aug 1997. Poss this match?

Looks likely he was playing for Burnley as he went Scarborough after that. We didn't have friendlies with Scarborough around that time. Just hammered them in playoffs.

Can anyone please help me solve this problem? Myself and my family were on holiday in Torquay in the early 90’s and came to Plainmoor to watch a game in August. Torquay’s opposition that day included a player named Liam Robinson. I called him over in the pre match kickabout for a chat and he duly obliged. I told him I was a Burnley fan, as he was at Turf Moir for a few seasons. The game might have been against Burnley, but I have no records of the game or no match programme to refer to. He may have been on loan with another club.
Is there any way I can find out the details of this game, that particular day ?
Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks
