Leeds United issue message as former Whites midfielder suffers heart attack

Robinson eventually left Leeds in December 2010 before re-joining Tranmere Rovers for whom the midfielder had been on two loan spells with during his time with the Whites.

Spells at Shrewsbury Town and Stockport County then followed before a move to Welsh side Ammanford.

Swansea City revealed in a statement on Thursday that Robinson had suffered a heart attack but that their former player was currently in a stable condition in hospital.

Taking to social media platform X, Leeds United were then quick to pass on their best wishes.

A post read: “Now in a stable condition, everyone at Leeds United Football Club wishes former player Andy Robinson a speedy recovery, after he suffered a heart attack earlier today .”
