Peter Robinson, the former Liverpool club secretary who played an instrumental role in the club’s rise under Bill Shankly and beyond, has died aged 86.
“PBR”, as he was affectionately known at Anfield, was regarded as one of the finest administrators in the game over a 35-year career at Liverpool. His decision-making, innovations, transfer dealings and relationships with several managers helped transform the club into a dominant force in England and Europe.
