Robinson started his career at Carlton, and was vice-captain of their 1948 and 1949 Thirds premiership sides. Residentially tied to Melbourne, he reluctantly joined them in 1950 when he became old enough to play senior football. Melbourne refused Robinson a clearance to stay at the Blues, and he made his senior debut early the next year. He played 14 games as a key defender in his first season, receiving four Brownlow Medal votes despite only appearing in one win.
He missed the 1952 pre-season while concentrating on a professional running career and didn't play a senior game. After Carlton were again refused a clearance for Robinson in 1953, he was forced to retire after injuring ankle tendons in the last pre-season practice match. Robinson returned to Melbourne in 1954, playing the first three games of the year.
Robinson finally returned to Carlton at the end of 1954, playing two further senior games with them in 1956, ending his career against Melbourne.

Some sources shown him as being from Mentone or Murrumbeena, and say his father played for Carlton - possibly Billy Robinson.
