'I thought he'd retired years ago!' Reaction to Paul Robinson's Premier League return and Burnley v Manchester City team news

Paul Robinson has been named in Burnley's starting line-up to face Manchester City on Saturday lunchtime.

The ex-England international goalkeeper has not played a competitive game in more than two years and last featured in the Premier League in 2012.

But the 36-year-old, who joined the Clarets in January as cover, gets his chance in the top-flight again after an injury to regular shot-stopper Tom Heaton.

News of Robinson's shock start in Sean Dyche's team was met with amazement on Twitter, with many football fans convinced he had already retired.
