Over, Under or Through: My Story So Far....
The story of the life (so far) of Chris Robinson - from being homeless in London as a child, growing up in the fifties and sixties, working in the labour movement and into professional football as a coach, manager and scout. A story involving a crazy cast of characters along the way from Freddie Rock on the docks, to Boris Johnson, from Sir Bobby Charlton to HRH the Countess of Wessex, and from John Conteh to Jose Mourinho with assorted children, wives, grandchildren. dogs and guitars along the way. From the streets of Islington to the beaches of Rio and the refugee camps in Lebanon through to the silky grass of Chelsea FC's wonderful training ground at Cobham - Chris's place of work for the last eleven years - this is a story of life's ups and downs, persistence and love.

Twenty years ago this week I trekked to Everest Base Camp with Chris to fundraise for CHASE Children’s Hospice (where my Aunt worked), followed by cycling around the Mekong River from Vietnam to Cambodia together a few months later.
It was interesting to read more about his personal and professional life both before and after, and his memories of those excursions too.
It was a privilege to have spent those few weeks with him and he was a charismatic leader to us all in the trekking group, where we all made memories that will last a lifetime 😊
