George Robledo, for anybody, kid or adult (kid as far as my experience was at that time)-who took football seriously in the 1940s/50s will have names like George Robledo etched forever on their subconscious.
I saw him play for several seasons when Newcastle FC came down to play Stoke City at the Victoria Ground in the then First Div. A terrific player -My old man (long dead now) rated him very highly.
Of course ‘wor’ Jackie was the main man but make no mistake about it -for the impartial fan, George Robledo was also greatly admired in the same bracket.

Great that you took the trouble to find his Grave when in Chile and were lucky enough to find it. Well done indeed!

Hi,

Im an Arsenal fan but my uncle is engaged to the Robledo brothers niece Amanda, his other brother Walter is still alive and i am sure he has a wealth of information that you guys will find useful. When i learned of his existance and career i was surprised that i had no knowledge of the brothers considering the effect they clearly had on some people!

I work in the school he went to in Brampton if that’s any help. I found out about him when reading some old school logs books written by the headteacher.

Regards,

Lee

From Chile I write, I need to contact people who can contribute to me with Videos, photographs and data of “George and Ted Robledo” players of the Newcastle.

I have heard so much about these toon legends, I have heard that there was a novel written about one of the brothers, Is it true?
