Robin Wainwright

Robin Keith Wainwright Date of Birth: Mar 9, 1951

Local boy Robin signed for Luton as a professional in December 1968 having joined the apprentice ranks a year before.

A skilful midfielder with a languid style, Robin made his League debut while on loan at Cambridge in March 1971 but had to wait until the following campaign before making his first start for the Hatters in a home clash with Preston in Division Two.

Robin went on to make 16 appearances that season but found himself out of favour under new manager Harry Haslam and so moved to Millwall, where he was again in the reserves, and finally to Northampton.

After finishing with League football, Robin played for John Moore’s Dunstable and Barry Fry’s Hillingdon before spending many years at Wealdstone who awarded him a testimonial against Luton in 1985.
