Club career

Robaina was born in Las Palmas. After starting out at local club UD Las Palmas, playing mainly in the Segunda División B, the 20-year-old signed for CD Tenerife also in his native Canary Islands in 1995,^[1] immediately having an impact in La Liga by making 39 appearances and providing 17 assists as his team finished fifth and qualified for the UEFA Cup,^[2] also featuring regularly as they reached the latter competition's semi-finals.^[3]

After another average season, Robaina gradually fell out of favour with Tenerife and, in the 1999 January transfer window, returned to Las Palmas in the first of a series of loans.^[4] He spent 1999–2000 in Portugal with Sporting CP, totalling just ten minutes from three games as the Lisbon side claimed the Primeira Liga title.^[5][6] In the following campaign he played with another team in his native region, Universidad de Las Palmas CF, suffering relegation from Segunda División^[7] and being subsequently released by his main club, for which he appeared in 117 competitive matches.^[8]

From the age of 27 until his retirement eight years later, Robaina all but competed in the third tier of Spanish football, with one-year spells in the Tercera División and regional football; the majority of the sides hailed from the Canary Islands.^[2]
