Leslie Robinson (born 1 March 1967) is an English retired professional footballer who played as a defender. He played for Chesterfield F.C., Mansfield Town, Stockport County, Doncaster Rovers, Banbury United and spent ten years at Oxford United where he is the club's sixth all-time record appearances. Born and raised in Shirebrook, the defender signed schoolboy terms with Chesterfield F.C., before turning professional with Mansfield Town F.C. in 1984. Two years later he was sold on to Stockport County F.C. for a free transfer. He was sold on to Doncaster Rovers F.C. for £10,000. In March 1990, he was transferred to Oxford United F.C. for £150,000. He would later become the captain of Oxford United F.C. and make 459 appearances for them.

In the later parts of his career and especially following retirement, Robinson's life changed. He now has a variety of roles at Swalcliffe Park School, a school catering for boys with autism near Banbury.

Oxford won the match 1-0 with a goal from Paul Wanless
