Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use British English Template:Infobox football biography Robin Gregory Stubbs (born 22 April 1941) is an English former professional footballer, born in Quinton, Birmingham, who played as a centre forward.[1] He made nearly 400 appearances and scored 170 goals in the Football League playing for Birmingham City, Torquay United (in two separate spells) and Bristol Rovers.[2]
While with Birmingham, Stubbs played in the early rounds of their 1958–60 and 1960–61 campaigns in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, but not in either final.[3] At the age of 22 he joined Torquay for what was then their club record fee of £6,000.[4] Over the following six seasons he scored at a rate of better than a goal every two games,[2] and was the Torquay fans' choice in the 2007 PFA Fans' Favourites poll.[5]
Stubbs was formerly married to Anthea Redfern, who went on to marry Bruce Forsyth and assist him on the BBC game-show The Generation Game.[1][6]
In January 2020 Torquay United announced that the board of directors had appointed Stubbs as an Honorary Life President of the club.[7]
