Timeline

1939

Lionel Philip Robberds, AM, Queen's Counsel (born 2 April 1939) is an Australian former representative rowing coxswain, national representative and world champion squash player and a barrister.

1951

State selection first came for Robberds a month after he turned twelve in 1951, to cox the New South Wales women's four which contested and won the ULVA Trophy at the Interstate Regatta.

1952

For seven consecutive years Robberds coxed the New South Wales women's four and saw victories at the Interstate Regattas of 1952, 1953, 1955, 1956 and 1957.

1954

In rowing he was seven times a national champion who won a gold medal in a coxed four at the 1954 Commonwealth Games; silver and bronze medals at the 1958 Commonwealth Games; and competed at the 1960 Rome Olympics in the men's coxed four.

For the 1954 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Vancouver as was customary, that year's winning King's Cup eight - Victoria - were invited to represent as the Australian crew.

They declined citing concerns on funding and the racing standard and so a squad was selected which comprised three New South Wales scullers in Wood, Evatt and Riley and two sweep oarsmen from the New South Wales eight Geoff Williamson and David Anderson.

The squad were able to contest the single and double scull and a pair and coxed four.

As the Leichhardt club coxswain of Williamson and Anderson, Robberds aged just fifteen, was selected to cox the four which rowed to a gold medal victory.

1955

In 1955 he also coxed the New South Wales men's eight in their King's Cup attempt at the Interstate Regatta.

1956

In 1956 and 1957 he again steered both the New South Wales women's four and the men's eight.

In both years the four were victors and the eight placed second.

1957

In 1957 aged seventeen and already at university, Robberds coxed the Sydney University eight at the 1957 Australian Universities Championships

1958

For the 1958 Interstate Regatta, Robberds was away with the Australian squad at the Commonwealth Games but in 1959 he was back in the stern of the New South Wales men's eight and steered them to a King's Cup victory

Selection racing for the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games was conducted in January 1958 and New South Wales oarsmen and combinations dominated.

The New South Wales eight was selected in toto to race as the Australian eight and Robberds selected as coxswain.

In Cardiff the eight rowed to a silver medal and four of the crew with Robberds in the stern also raced as a coxed four and took a bronze medal.

Along with his brother Greg, Lionel Robberds made the New South Wales men's team and he was a part of their legacy when between 1958 and 1973 members of that team won 78 consecutive matches at Australian carnivals.

Nancarrow, Ken Hiscoe, Ted Hamilton and others participated in that time in the four men squad.

1960

For the 1960 Rome Olympics the Australian eight was the winning King's Cup West Australian eight.

A coxed four was selected as the fourth priority boat and a New South Wales four was picked with Robberds on the rudder.

In Rome they made the Olympic final and finished in fifth place.

The unbeaten run ended with a loss to Queensland in 1974.

1976

Robberd's nephews Brett Martin and Rodney Martin were both world champions though their sister Michelle Martin had the greatest success in the family and she credited Robberds with designing a training programme and providing psychological and tactical support which made the difference to her career.

Martin was ranked sixth in the world before Robberds commenced to coach her and she began winning major titles immediately.

1982
