I have in the past posted a picture on here showing a very young Jason Robinson attending a colts training session at Headingley run by one of Ray Abbey or Norman Smith or possibly both.'"
Think it would have been Norman Smith back then, working from memory. Think Robinson is about five years younger than me, so it would have been around 1990ish?
