George Robinson was educated at Preston Catholic College in Lancashire before going up to Pembroke College, Oxford.[2] 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. He was Oxford's highest scorer in 1971 with 546 runs at an average of 26.00, "the only player who could put his head down and graft when things were going wrong".[3]
