Robbie McRobbie

In this episode, hear Olly Belcher, President of the St Edmund Hall Association, in conversation with Robbie McRobbie who came up to the Hall in 1989 from Scotland when he was just in 17 to read Modern History. Robbie became the JCR Social Secretary in his second year and managed to get Kylie Minogue to become an honorary member due to the students’ love at the time for the soap opera “Neighbours”.  After the Hall, Robbie moved to Hong Kong and joined the Royal Hong Kong Police Force where his brother of all people trained him!  After 11 years and one arrest, Robbie left the police force and joined the Hong Kong Rugby Union where he is now the CEO, busily preparing for the Hong Kong Rugby Sevens which will take place for the first time in November after two years.  Recently Robbie was awarded his MBE for services to charity in both the UK and Hong Kong.
