Robinson: Hard work reason for upturn in form

ENGLAND goalkeeper Paul Robinson says hard work on the training ground is the main reason for his recent return to the Tottenham team.

The 28-year-old was dropped by Spurs head coach Juande Ramos in January but came back on the eve of the Carling Cup final triumph and kept his place, earning a recall to the national squad for tonight’s friendly against France in Paris.

“As soon as I came out of the side, my target was to get back into the team as soon as possible,” he said.
