Robbie Winters

Robbie Winters (born 4 November 1974 in East Kilbride) is a Scotland footballer. He is a former Dundee United F.C. and Aberdeen F.C. and current SK Brann player.

Career

Winters made his debut for Dundee United in 1992 and played 99 league games for the Terrors, scoring 19 times. A move to Aberdeen beckoned, which saw Billy Dodds and cash come to Tannadice Park in exchange for Winters. His time at Pittodrie was fruitful, with 41 goals from 132 league appearances. In the 2000 Scottish Cup final, Winters came on as a 2nd-minute substitute to replace injured goalkeeper Jim Leighton, who suffered a Bone fracture cheekbone. Playing virtually the whole match in an unorthodox position, Winters let in four goals as Rangers F.C. beat Aberdeen 4-0.

After leaving in 2002 when his contract expired, Winters played one match for Luton Town F.C., appearing in the first half of the first match of the season, before moving to Norway with Brann. After several seasons with hints about leaving Bergen, Norway due to family issues, Winters stated on 31 October that he no longer had the motivation needed to play for SK Brann, and that he wished to leave the club in January . He was seeking a club, preferably in Scotland, but he also stated that an England Football League Championship club would be interesting. With no contract offer, Winters returned to SK Brann to make peace with manager Mons Ivar Mjelde and fulfil his contract until December 2007. Winters' Scottish team-mate Charlie Miller did leave and subsequently joined Belgium side Lierse S.K..

Winters, whose younger brother David Winters is a professional footballer, has one Scotland national football team cap, when he appeared as a substitute in the 1-0 friendly win against Germany national football team in Bremen, April 1999.
