James Johnston Robinson (15 November 1881 – 5 November 1947) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Carlton in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]
The son of George Robinson (1861–1946),[2] and Jane Emiline Robinson (1864–1918), née Milson, James Johnston Robinson was born at Seymour on 15 November 1881.
He married Mary Anne Maud Martell (1883–1957) on 10 September 1912.[3]
Recruited from a local Metropolitan Junior League team, Stanley United Football Club — its home ground was at Royal Park, Melbourne — he played his only game for the Carlton First XVIII (replacing Charlie Maplestone at full-back) against St Kilda, at Princes Park, on 25 May 1901, at the age of 19.[4]
