Callum Robinson admits emotions will run high in Saturday’s match against Villa and says he will always be grateful for his B6 upbringing. The 21-year-old joined the Deepdale outfit in the summer following successful loan spells.It brought an end to Robinson’s 13-year association with the claret and blues. Robinson progressed through the B6 youth ranks and made his Premier League debut in a goalless draw with Southampton in April 2014. Competition for places meant he struggled to hold down a regular spot in the senior set-up so linked up with the Lancashire side on a permanent basis in the summer.He’s started the 2016/17 season well and has two Championship goals to his name. The Northampton born forward will always look back fondly on his time in the second city and is relishing this weekend’s encounter against his former club. He said: “When I left Villa it was obviously the first game I looked at and it wasn’t too long or too far away on October 1. “It’s been on my mind obviously but hopefully we can get a result against them and I will be really happy with that. “I was there from eight-years-old. I have been through a lot of coaches - some are still there and some have left and a lot of players have come and gone during the 13 years I was there. “I was grateful for the opportunity with the likes of Tony McAndrew and Kevin MacDonald who developed me into a good player and got me into the first team with Aston Villa in the Premier League. “I am grateful for the help they have given to me. “They helped develop me into the player I am today and I am learning other things here now too. “I was there for a long time and it was obviously going to be a big game for me.” Saturday sees Robinson, along with fellow Bodymoor Heath academy graduate Daniel Johnson, lock horns with Villa for the first time. It follows the Lilywhites’ 2-2 draw with Birmingham City at St Andrew’s – where Johnson was on target. And Robinson admits it’s a big day for him and his family and says he’s hopeful of a positive reception from the 5,657 travelling support. He added: “It’s going to be a bit of an emotional day playing against Villa and my mum and dad have been there from the very start. “Back then they made the decision to take me from Northampton to Villa three times a week, so it’ll be a big day for them as well. “I have about 10 to 15 people coming to the match. “It was mad when I looked at the fixture list and saw Blues and Villa right next to each other.“With Villa I think they will give me a good applause, because the time I had there and when I was in and around the first team they really wanted me to do well and were by my side.”
