Liverpool FC Era
“He and Smith were closely involved in player recruitment during an era when the Reds repeatedly achieved masterstrokes in the transfer market.
“And the pair drove forward improvements at Anfield, including a new Main Stand and floodlighting – under which so many special nights would unfold – in the early 1970s.
“It was a set-up that helped to deliver overwhelming success as Liverpool became a dominant force – and trophy-gathering machine – first at home and then on the continent.”
And tributes poured in from the Liverpool faithful as they mourned the death of a club legend.
One said: “Sad to hear of the passing of Peter Robinson. This really is the end of an era.
“I was a Kopite when he took over in 1965 and I owe my 50 years working at Anfield entirely to him. Liverpool fans are in debt to him for the club they have today. R.I.P. PBR.”
